Overview

CaseMark's NYDFS Information Security Program skill drafts a comprehensive, regulatory-ready cybersecurity program for covered financial services entities under 23 NYCRR 500. It maps every required element — from CISO governance and risk assessments to encryption standards, incident response, and annual certification — into a cohesive, professionally structured document tailored to your organization's risk profile.

Drafting a comprehensive Information Security Program that satisfies every requirement of the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation is a painstaking, multi-week effort. Compliance teams must cross-reference dozens of regulatory sections, coordinate across legal, IT, and executive stakeholders, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks — all while keeping pace with regulatory amendments and examination expectations.

CaseMark automates the heavy lifting by analyzing your organizational documents, risk assessments, and vendor inventories against the full text of 23 NYCRR 500. The AI generates a structured, regulation-mapped Information Security Program that covers CISO designation, access controls, encryption, incident response, vendor management, and annual certification — ready for expert review and Board approval.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your organizational documents, prior risk assessments, vendor inventory, and any existing cybersecurity policies

  2. 2. AI analyzes your inputs against every section of 23 NYCRR 500 and drafts a tailored Information Security Program

  3. 3. Review and customize each section — CISO designation, access controls, encryption, incident response, and more

  4. 4. Export the final regulatory-ready program document in DOCX or PDF format

Questions

What sections of 23 NYCRR 500 does this skill cover?

CaseMark's NYDFS InfoSec Program skill covers every major section of the regulation, including CISO designation (§ 500.04), written security policy (§ 500.03), risk assessment (§ 500.09), access controls (§ 500.07), encryption (§ 500.15), monitoring (§ 500.06), incident response and notification (§ 500.16–500.17), third-party vendor management (§ 500.11), and annual certification (§ 500.17).

Is the output tailored to my organization's size and complexity?

Yes. CaseMark analyzes your uploaded organizational documents, technology inventories, and risk profile to tailor controls proportionally. The regulation itself contemplates different requirements based on entity size, and the generated program reflects that.

Can I use this for the NYDFS annual certification process?

Absolutely. The skill generates documentation that supports the annual certification requirement under 23 NYCRR 500, including Board reporting templates and compliance attestation language that CaseMark structures for your review.

How does CaseMark handle third-party vendor risk requirements?

CaseMark drafts a dedicated third-party service provider security section based on your uploaded vendor inventory. It addresses due diligence procedures, contractual security requirements, ongoing monitoring, and access controls for vendors handling nonpublic information.

Does this replace the need for a CISO or cybersecurity counsel?

No. CaseMark accelerates the drafting process and ensures comprehensive regulatory coverage, but the output should be reviewed by your designated CISO, compliance team, and legal counsel before adoption. It is a powerful starting point, not a substitute for professional judgment.

How current is the regulatory mapping?

CaseMark's skill is mapped to the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation including the significant 2023 amendments. We recommend verifying against the latest published version of 23 NYCRR 500 and any recent NYDFS guidance letters.
