17 Regulations of 23 NYCRR Part 500 and The Deadlines for Each
Posted July 01, 2018 by Rich Delaney, CTO
The New York State Department of Financial Services has stipulated 17 separate cybersecurity regulations which apply to all covered entities under its jurisdiction. The purpose of the regulations are to enhance data security, and to prepare for and prevent cybersecurity attacks against financial institutions that hold confidential non-public or customer information otherwise known as PII. Delaney Computer Services has compiled a list of covered entities and their respective requirements under §500 of the law. In addition to the list of requirements there is a list of deadline dates for each of the requirements.
Here is a short list of the covered entities under the NYS DFS 23NYCRR Part 500 Rules:
Limited Exemption under §500.19
In the event that you fall under and are claiming limited exemption status under §500.19 this list marks eight of seventeen specific cybersecurity regulations that you still are required to adhere to with their respective dates. DCS has also seen a lot of confusion with respect to Exempt vs. Limited Exemption and it is important for covered entities to understand that limited exemption means limited and you still must comply with specific regulations under 23 NYCRR Part 500 including respective deadline dates of compliance which still need to be implemented and adhered to.
