SWIFT is a global organization that helps its more than 11,000 financial institution customers, in more than 200 countries and territories around the world, get the most out of their secure messaging services. Being SWIFT compliant means that organizations can securely and seamlessly communicate financial information between users.

To enable compliance, SWIFT has created the Customer Security Controls Framework – a set of mandatory and advisory security controls for SWIFT users grouped into three overall objectives – Secure Your Environment, Know and Limit Access, and Detect and Respond – supported by eight security principles and 27 security controls. The graphic below (courtesy: SWIFT), summarizes the objectives, principles and controls.

The Clock is Ticking…

With less than 5 months remaining until SWIFT self-attestations are due, I’m sure there are still many financial services organizations with questions about what technologies and solutions can help them achieve compliance.

For those organizations who still have questions, we’ve mapped our privileged access management and vulnerability management solutions into the framework; specifically, we map into seven (7) of the eight (8) security principles, and 18 of the 27 security controls. Below is a table summarizing how our solutions map into the CSCF.
