Book a 15-minute review →

Insurance are increasingly asked to demonstrate NYDFS 500 readiness. The obligation stems from meeting the NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law in adopting states, and NYDFS 500 (23 NYCRR 500 (Second Amendment)) is how it is measured. MDRwatchdog monitors your endpoints, cloud, and identity around the clock and maps that telemetry to the framework's controls.

You receive your section-by-section assessment, audit trail verification, encryption mapping, certification support generated from live evidence. Controls the platform can prove are marked as evidenced; the rest are flagged for attestation. The underlying audit trail is hash-chained and independently verifiable, so what you hand an assessor is defensible, not a self-graded checklist.

Whether you are early in your NYDFS 500 journey or refreshing evidence for a renewal, the platform keeps you assessment-ready.

NYDFS 500 is certified or determined by your organization's annual 500.17(b) certification; we get you ready and keep you ready.
