Attest with the evidence already in hand
Mandatory for SWIFT-connected banks: an assessment of your SWIFT-related architecture against the CSCF’s mandatory and advisory controls, a remediation roadmap for the gaps, and support through the independent attestation and the KYC-SA submission — protecting correspondent banking relationships and guarding against fraud at the messaging layer.

WHAT'S COVERED
Scope of the engagement
01
Architecture scoping
Which components are in the SWIFT secure zone, which connect to it, and where the boundary really sits — established before any control is assessed.
02
Mandatory controls
Every mandatory control in the current CSCF assessed against your environment, with the evidence status recorded for each.
03
Advisory controls
The advisory controls reviewed alongside, because advisory controls have a habit of becoming mandatory in a later version and it is cheaper to plan for that now.
04
Secure zone & segmentation
Whether the secure zone is genuinely isolated from the general IT estate — the architecture and segmentation that payment messaging infrastructure depends on.
05
Remediation roadmap
Gaps sequenced by attestation deadline and by risk, with owners and dependencies made explicit.
06
Attestation & KYC-SA support
Preparation for the independent assessment, and support through the KYC-SA submission itself.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you ask
Do you perform the independent assessment?
No. The CSP requires the attestation to be supported by an assessment independent of the work being assessed, and we do not assess our own remediation. We scope, find the gaps, build the roadmap and support you through the attestation.
Which controls are mandatory for us?
It depends on your architecture type under the CSCF — how your SWIFT footprint connects — and establishing that is the first step of scoping. Both the mandatory and the advisory sets are assessed.
We are already attested. Why do this?
Attestation is annual and the framework changes. A gap assessment ahead of the cycle, with a roadmap sequenced against the deadline, is what stops the submission becoming a scramble.
THE DELIVERABLE
What lands on your desk at the end
Before you sign, ask us exactly what the report contains — it is the fastest way to judge whether the work is worth buying.

WHAT A CONSULTATION LOOKS LIKE
01
A conversation with an engineer
Not a sales call. Bring your architecture and your constraints.
02
A written gap summary
Prioritised, with what we would do first and why.
03
No obligation, no follow-up sequence
If it is not a fit we will say so on the call.
