The SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP) was introduced to support SWIFT customers and drive industry-wide collaboration in the fight against cyber fraud. The CSP establishes a common set of security controls known as the Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF) which is designed to help SWIFT users secure their local environments and to foster a more secure financial ecosystem.
The SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF) consists of both mandatory and advisory security controls for SWIFT users. Mandatory security controls establish a security baseline for the entire community, and must be implemented by all users on their local SWIFT infrastructure. With the shift to cloud computing, Appendix G of the latest CSCF provides guidance for users using digital connectivity.
The objective of this guide is to provide SWIFT customers with sufficient information and best practices to implement the CSCF security controls when implementing their SWIFT Client Connectivity Stack on AWS.
