Fostering a more secure financial ecosystem

You: Secure and Protect

To support the industry, Swift is maintaining a core set of mandatory and advisory security controls. Those controls evolve over time with new and arising threats, the development of security-related regulations in major jurisdictions, developments in cybersecurity practice, new technology usage and feedback provided by the Swift community.

The mandatory and advisory security controls can be found in the Swift Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF). Users must log in with their swift.com credentials to access the document (Knowledge Centre > Security >Customer Security Programme > Swift Customer Security Controls Framework - Detailed Description).

To ensure adoption, and to complement the Swift Customer Security Controls Framework, Swift has published further details of the related attestation policy and process in the Swift Customer Security Controls Policy.
