Cybersecurity Regulation Works
• The New York Department of Financial Services released a set of regulations on February 
16th, 2017. The Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR Part 500) places cybersecurity 
requirements on all covered financial institutions in the state. The rules were developed 
after two rounds of feedback from the industry and the public, outlining 23 sections that 
require covered institutions to measure their cybersecurity risks and build up plans to 
smartly address those risks.

• The New York Department of Financial Services Cybersecurity Regulation requires 
covered organizations to enact a detailed cybersecurity plan, designate a Chief 
Information Security Officer (CISO), pass a comprehensive cybersecurity policy, and 
initiate and maintain a continuing reporting system for cybersecurity events.
