We aim to raise the expertise of independent Assessors and to standardise the CSP assessment methodology for a better alignment of the assessment scope and costs.
Specific report templates and effort estimates for standardisation and cost containment will be made available, ensuring the reliability and credibility of assessments. Swift CSP certified assessors will be subject to service monitoring by Swift.
A certification track is offered for both independent external and internal assessments.
