The company will begin offering consulting services to help SWIFT’s banking and securities customers adhere to CSP standards and prepare for annual audits in the fight against cybercrime.

“We are excited to work with SWIFT to provide their customers with accurate, in-depth, and cost-effective assessments of their security posture, complete with improvement recommendations and implementation support,” said Manish Gurukula, CEO of Alacriti. “We’re looking forward to helping these organizations comply with SWIFT CSP, plus a wide spectrum of other regulations and mandates from a single Alacriti engagement,” adds Gurukula.
