SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP)

Understanding and Kickoff

The kickoff is considered the start of the engagement. If needed, Schellman will schedule a call at the beginning of, or just prior to, the kickoff to finalize any outstanding items. Schellman will be available to the client with any questions.

By including communication prior to starting, Schellman ensures that no last-minute changes to the project or team have occurred and the Client has the plan prior to the testing and on-site visit.

Assessment and Evidence Review

Assessment and evidence review is the core of the compliance engagement. Due to the planning and understanding processes, this phase will be an accumulation of gathering the evidence needed for the objectives discussed. Schellman has a no surprise policy and has daily contact with the stakeholders during the testing and gathering activities. Furthermore, Schellman will begin documentation of the draft deliverable to be able to provide it to the Client efficiently after this phase. The Client will have confidence the Schellman team has completed this phase timely and completely.

Reporting

Schellman’s assessment methodology ends with reporting, but the entire assessment is focused on creating a deliverable that is clear, concise, and accurate. your organization will be provided with a disposition describing compliance with each of the applicable mandatory or advisory security controls in the form of a detailed controls summary report, tailored to be easily utilized to fulfill the SWIFT KYC-SA attestation requirement. In addition to describing compliance with the CSCF, the controls summary report provides enough detail to assist with your communications regarding organizational cyber security posture to executive leadership.
