SWIFT CSP Compliance with ComplyScore®

SWIFT CSP is the mandatory security framework for financial institutions using SWIFT messaging. Annual attestation requires implementing mandatory controls from the Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF) and validating compliance through independent assessments.

ComplyScore® automates service provider risk assessments aligned to SWIFT CSCF requirements, maintains continuous monitoring of third-party security posture, and generates audit-ready documentation proving systematic oversight for KYC-SA attestation and independent assessor review.
