Here is the honest situation. The New York DFS Cybersecurity Regulation, 23 NYCRR 500, applies to financial services companies licensed in New York. It requires a risk-based cybersecurity program and written policy, a qualified CISO reporting to the board, an annual certification to the DFS, a risk assessment, penetration testing and audit trails, multi-factor authentication, encryption of nonpublic information, third-party governance, training, a tested incident response plan and notification of cybersecurity events within 72 hours. Building that program and evidencing it, especially through the annual certification, is real work, and a covered entity without MFA or that misses the 72-hour notice is exactly where covered entities fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every 23 NYCRR 500 requirement written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence the DFS examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the NY DFS Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR 500), including the recent amendments, with the program and policy, the CISO and board reporting, the annual certification, MFA, encryption, third-party governance, incident response and the 72-hour notification called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is determining applicability and any exemption, where compliance begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A control you cannot evidence undermines your certification. This tells you what the DFS examines and where covered entities fall short, for every requirement.
- MFA, certification and notification built in. The multi-factor authentication, the annual certification and the 72-hour notification are written into the controls, the requirements enforcement turns on.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. 23 NYCRR 500 aligns with the NIST CSF and other financial cyber rules, so this work feeds your wider security and regulatory program.
Who buys this
Financial services companies licensed by the NY DFS, and the security, compliance and CISO functions who own 23 NYCRR 500. Whether it is a first program or the annual certification, you save weeks and walk in with the program, MFA and notification structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover MFA? Yes. Multi-factor authentication for the required access, and CISO-approved compensating controls, are built as controls.
Does it cover the annual certification? Yes. Filing the annual certification of material compliance, or an acknowledgement with a remediation plan, is built as a control.
Does it cover the 72-hour notice? Yes. Notifying the DFS of a cybersecurity event within 72 hours is built as a control.
