What it asks for

In plain English, what NYDFS 500 expects you to have in place.

  • A written information security programScoped to the customer and cardholder data you hold, owned by a named individual.
  • Risk assessmentDocumented, repeated on a schedule, and driving what you actually implement.
  • Core controlsMFA, encryption in transit and at rest, access reviews, secure configurations, patching and logging.
  • Third-party oversightService providers assessed, contracted and monitored for how they protect the data you give them.
  • Incident response and noticeA written plan, rehearsed, that meets the notification windows your regulator sets.
  • Testing and reportingPeriodic testing of the controls and a report to leadership or the board.

A note on authority: the regulator, auditor or certifying body has the final say on whether you comply. We help interpret the requirements, scope what applies, gap-assess against what is published today, and keep you compliance-ready and secure as the guidance evolves. We hold no regulatory authority and do not certify.

Questions we get about NYDFS 500

Do you certify NYDFS 500 compliance?
No. New York Department of Financial Services and the auditors or assessors it recognizes have the final say. We interpret the requirements for your business, scope what applies, close the gaps and keep the evidence current so the assessment or examination is a formality.
Where do we start with NYDFS 500?
With the 3-minute Cyber Hygiene Test if you want a number today, or with the 30-minute call if you want a written scope and a fixed fee. Either way the first deliverable is a gap list ranked by what would fail and what would hurt.
We also need other frameworks. Do we do NYDFS 500 separately?
No. We build one control set and map it to every framework you carry, so evidence is produced once and reused. Adding a framework later is a mapping exercise, not a second program.
