Cianaa Technologies – Your Trusted SWIFT CSP Assessor
Cianaa Technologies is proud to be a certified SWIFT CSP Assessor, offering independent, expert-led assessments that help banks meet compliance, strengthen security, and maintain trust in their operations.
In today’s hyper-connected financial ecosystem, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) plays a pivotal role in enabling secure, standardized messaging between banks and financial institutions across the globe. With trillions of dollars transacted daily, SWIFT is the backbone of international finance.
However, this prominence also makes SWIFT a prime target for sophisticated cyber threats. To counter these risks, SWIFT launched the Customer Security Programme (CSP), a global initiative aimed at reinforcing cybersecurity across its user community.
At the heart of this initiative lies the Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF) – a set of mandatory and advisory controls that every SWIFT user must implement and attest to annually.
Before diving into a full attestation audit, Cianaa conducts a Gap Analysis to identify areas of non-compliance. This includes:
Our certified auditors perform a comprehensive evaluation of your SWIFT infrastructure, producing:
Using our proprietary ADR (Assess, Declare, Respond) model, we simulate real-world attack scenarios to test the resilience of your SWIFT environment. This includes:
Our Partners help banks implement Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC) monitoring tailored to SWIFT use cases. Our vendor-agnostic correlation rules integrate with SIEM/SOAR platforms to detect and respond to threats in real-time.
We meet all criteria set by SWIFT’s Independent Assessment Framework.
Our consultants understand the nuances of financial operations and regulatory landscapes.
From gap analysis to attestation submission, we manage the entire process.
We tailor our assessments to your architecture, risk appetite, and business goals.

Assessments help identify vulnerabilities in your SWIFT ecosystem, enabling proactive remediation and strengthening defenses against cyberattacks.
By validating controls such as access management, network segmentation, and incident response, assessments reduce the risk of fraud, data breaches, and operational disruption.
A certified assessment builds confidence among stakeholders, counterparties, and regulators, showcasing your commitment to security and compliance.
Annually, with attestation due by December 31 each year.
