NYDFS Reg 500 Compliance

The financial industry is under cyber siege. Because of this, NYDFS cyber security regulations are leading the way toward greater data privacy. They address the increasing number of cyber attacks on the financial industries. NYDFS Reg 500 Compliance Regulation (23 NYCRR 500) created cybersecurity rules for financial services companies.
The NYDFS supervises banks, insurance companies, and other financial service companies. For example, more specific companies are:
- Credit Unions
- Health Insurers
- Investment Companies
- Licensed Lenders
- Private Bankers
- Offices of Foreign Banks
- Commercial Banks
- Life Insurance Companies
- Mortgage Brokers
- Savings and Loans Associations
No matter your business needs, CyberCompass takes you beyond basic compliance. Our holistic solutions cover your people, processes, technology and vendors.
NYDFS Reg 500 Compliance required by June 1, 2020.
NYDFS regulations can mean potential fines – up to $500,000 in less than a week.
For example, these large fines can add up quickly:
- $2,500 per day while a violation continues
- $15,000 per day for reckless or unsound practices
- $75,000 per day for a knowing and willful violation
Being NYDFS exempt does NOT mean you are EXCUSED
NYDFS 500 allows certain covered entities to be exempt from not having to meet some NYDFS cyber security regulations. For more information about NYDFS exemption status click here.
Many entities with exemption status may not know they are still required to complete a risk assessment. In addition, they must revise policies and procedures, publish a Third Party Provider Security Policy and document a cybersecurity program. As a result, those that comply can avoid possible fines and penalties.
