SOC 2 Aligned
100% U.S.-Based Support
20+ Years Experience

In New York, security gets audited from several directions at once. DFS examiners want Part 500 artifacts, institutional clients send outside-counsel guidelines, hospitals pass their own rules down to vendors, and the SHIELD Act follows New Yorkers' data wherever it's stored. None of that is satisfied by a policy binder alone. We run the controls behind it every day: EDR on every endpoint, a 24/7 SOC reviewing alerts and sign-ins, MFA on every remote and privileged login, PAM for admin accounts, email filtering against wire fraud, vulnerability scans and restore-tested backups. Your evidence builds up as a byproduct. Our engineers are U.S.-based.

Industries We Serve

Specialized expertise for New York Metro's key industries.

DFS-Licensed Brokers and Lenders

Insurance brokers, mortgage bankers and small lenders under 23 NYCRR Part 500 need MFA on remote and privileged access, a maintained asset inventory and a program that runs all year. We keep the inventory current as devices change, enforce MFA everywhere, put admin accounts behind PAM and record access reviews. Our SOC watches sign-ins 24/7. By April 15, your senior officer signs the annual filing against a dated evidence folder, not guesses.

Law Firms

Outside-counsel guidelines ask firms to prove encryption, MFA and fast incident notice, and some reserve audit rights. We enforce MFA and conditional access, keep document management permissions aligned with ethical walls, and alert on unusual bulk access to matter files. Laptops run EDR with disk encryption. When a client's security questionnaire arrives, the answers match what's configured, because we're the ones keeping it configured that way.

Health Tech and Practices

Since 10 NYCRR 405.46 put New York general hospitals under their own security rule, vendor reviews have gotten stricter. If you sell software to them or run a practice that exchanges records, they expect MFA, logging and quick incident notice from you. We deploy EDR, monitor cloud services that store PHI, encrypt endpoints and run quarterly vulnerability scans. BAAs are part of our onboarding, and we build the controls to support HIPAA plus whatever the hospital's contract adds.

Agencies and Fashion Houses

Advertising agencies and fashion houses run on freelancers who rotate weekly and unreleased work that clients guard closely. We manage Macs with EDR and encryption, give guests time-limited access to per-project folders and remove access the day a contract ends. The SOC flags large downloads or new external sharing links on sensitive projects. Phishing training covers the invoice and payment scams aimed at production budgets.

Real Estate and Property Management

Brokers and managing agents run shared mailboxes that see down payments, rent remittances and co-op closing details. We convert shared logins to named access with MFA, filter inbound mail for lookalike domains and wiring-change requests, and alert on new forwarding rules. Staff learn to confirm any payment change by phone using a known number. Those habits, kept up every week, close off the usual route to diverted funds.

New York FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity services in New York, NY.

Can a managed service cover the day-to-day controls Part 500 requires of our DFS-licensed firm?

+
Most of them. We run MFA enforcement, the asset inventory, privileged access management, vulnerability scanning, EDR and log monitoring, and we document each as we go. What stays with you is governance: your risk assessment decisions, senior officer oversight and the annual filing itself. If you use a third party for the CISO role, your firm still keeps responsibility, so we report to your designated senior person every month in plain language. Your counsel confirms which sections and exemptions apply.

What does the SHIELD Act expect from a business outside New York with New York customers?

+
General Business Law 899-bb asks anyone holding New York residents' private information to maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, scaled to the size of the business. On the technical side, that maps to things we run continuously: MFA, encryption, monitored endpoints, patching, secure disposal of old devices and tested backups. A Jersey City or Hoboken firm may also carry New Jersey's own privacy law. We document the safeguards so your attorney can show they exist and are maintained.

How do you keep a Manhattan law firm ready for client security audits?

+
Clients usually ask the same things: is MFA enforced, are laptops encrypted, who can open our matters, and how fast will you tell us about an incident. We keep MFA and encryption reports current, review document management permissions against ethical walls each quarter and log access to sensitive matters so the SOC can flag unusual pulls. When an audit or questionnaire lands, we supply the reports and help the firm answer accurately instead of optimistically.

Our health tech company sells to New York hospitals. What will they expect from us once we're live?

+
Expect the hospital to hold you to its own standard. Under 10 NYCRR 405.46, hospitals run security programs and report incidents to the Department of Health on a short clock, so they want vendors with MFA, logging, vulnerability management and prompt notice of anything on your side. We run those controls, monitor the cloud services that hold PHI through the SOC and keep scan results and access reviews ready for the hospital's periodic reassessment.

Our property management office loses track of who can reach shared mailboxes. How do you fix that?

+
We start by listing every shared mailbox and everyone with access, including former staff who were never removed. Each person gets their own login with MFA, and delegated access replaces shared passwords. We alert on new forwarding rules and sign-ins from unfamiliar locations, and email filtering holds messages that try to change wiring details for co-op closings or rent payments. Access gets reviewed each quarter, so the list stays accurate as staff turn over.
