NYDFS 23 NYCRR Part 500 Requirements
Turn cybersecurity requirements into measurable data controls.
NYDFS Part 500 requires covered entities to maintain a risk-based cybersecurity program that protects information systems and nonpublic information. BigID helps connect regulatory requirements to sensitive data, access, exposure, third-party risk, retention, remediation, and evidence across the data environment.
02
Support cybersecurity risk assessments
Add data sensitivity, location, ownership, access, exposure, system, business impact, and regulatory context to annual and event-driven cybersecurity risk assessments.
03
Govern access privileges
Identify users, groups, privileged accounts, service accounts, applications, vendors, and third parties with access to nonpublic information and reduce unnecessary permissions.
04
Reduce data exposure
Detect exposed sensitive data, risky sharing, stale access, excessive privileges, misconfigurations, vulnerable repositories, and policy violations that increase cyber risk.
05
Strengthen third-party oversight
Understand which service providers can access nonpublic information and add data sensitivity, access level, system dependency, ownership, and risk context to third-party reviews.
06
Prove control effectiveness
Generate evidence for data discovery, classification, access reviews, risk assessments, remediation, retention, policy enforcement, third-party oversight, and regulatory reporting.
Questions Cybersecurity Teams Need Answered
NYDFS compliance starts with understanding sensitive data risk.
Security, risk, compliance, legal, audit, and technology teams need clear answers before they can protect nonpublic information, govern access, reduce exposure, strengthen third-party oversight, and demonstrate control effectiveness.
Where does nonpublic information live?
BigID discovers sensitive customer, employee, financial, business, and regulated information across cloud platforms, SaaS applications, databases, data warehouses, file shares, collaboration tools, backups, and unstructured repositories.
Which data presents the greatest cyber risk?
BigID combines data sensitivity, business value, exposure, access, location, ownership, system context, and regulatory relevance to help teams prioritize the highest-risk information.
Who can access nonpublic information?
BigID maps users, groups, privileged accounts, service accounts, applications, vendors, third parties, and AI systems with access to sensitive and regulated information.
Where is sensitive data overexposed?
BigID identifies excessive permissions, risky sharing, public exposure, stale access, misconfigurations, vulnerable repositories, unnecessary copies, and other conditions that increase cybersecurity risk.
Which third parties can access sensitive data?
BigID helps identify service providers and external parties with access to nonpublic information and adds sensitivity, access level, ownership, system dependency, and risk context to third-party reviews.
Can we demonstrate control effectiveness?
BigID generates evidence for discovery, classification, access reviews, risk assessments, retention, remediation, third-party oversight, policy enforcement, and regulatory reporting.
