NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation Team Lead

New York’s Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Cybersecurity Regulation is not theory. It is a rulebook with teeth. Every covered entity must meet strict standards, from risk assessment to incident reporting. For complex organizations, these rules demand more than compliance—they demand leadership. That is where the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation Team Lead comes in.

The team lead holds the map and the compass. They interpret 23 NYCRR 500 in real time. They ensure continuous risk-based controls, secure system development practices, and timely breach notifications. Leadership in this role means knowing that Section 500.4 requires a CISO function, and that Section 500.2 demands a written cybersecurity policy approved by the board.

A team lead must coordinate security operations, oversee vulnerability management, monitor access privileges, and guide disaster recovery plans. They align technical enforcement with legal requirements. They review audit trails against NYDFS logging standards and confirm encryption matches regulatory expectations. They link every control to a clause in the regulation.

This position also manages vendor risk. Third-party service providers must adhere to 500.11, and the team lead enforces contractual security obligations. They track remediation deadlines. They document actions for regulators. They handle incidents under the 72-hour notification window without hesitation.

Hiring the right NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation Team Lead means hiring precision. The wrong hire risks fines, license restrictions, and public exposure. The right hire ensures operational compliance without slowing innovation.
