NYDFS Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
- All Covered Entities must adhere to the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR 500), a collection of rules from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) (financial institutions and financial services companies). It has 23 sections that outline the NYDFS cybersecurity requirements for creating and putting into practice an efficient cybersecurity program. Covered Entities are required to evaluate their nydfs cybersecurity risk assessment and create a proactive action plan.
- Any companies operating or required to operate under DFS licensure, registration, charter, or who are otherwise DFS-regulated, as well as their third-party suppliers and service providers, are subject to the NYDFS Cybersecurity Rule. A few instances of covered entities are Private chartered banks, Foreign banks who operate in New York, Insurance companies, Lenders, etc.
- Organizations must adhere to all of the practices listed above as the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation is now fully implemented. These practices include appointing a CISO, conducting periodic nydfs risk assessments, maintaining a cybersecurity program that adheres to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and investing in third-party risk and fourth-party risk management programs.
