Did you know the State of New York requires certain entities to designate a Chief Information Security Officer that is responsible for overseeing, implementing, and enforcing the cybersecurity program and policy? Several other states are following New York's lead.

The New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS), 23 NYCRR 500 – “Cybersecurity Requirements for Financial Services Companies” requires minimum Cybersecurity standards for any business or person, operating under a license, registration, charter, permit, certificate, or authorization under the Banking Law, Insurance Law, or Financial Services Law operating in the State of New York effective March 1, 2017.

Three key requirements within the DFS 23 NYCRR 500 are maintaining a cybersecurity program designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its information systems; designating a qualified individual for overseeing and implementing such program, such as a CISO; and conduct periodic Risk Assessments of the entities as it relates to cybersecurity.

Beginning February 15, 2018 and annual thereafter, the Board of Directors or a senior officer will need to certify with the DFS by completing a “Certification of Compliance with the New York State Department of Financial Services Cybersecurity Regulations.”
