FAQ
Any entity operating under a NYDFS license, registration, or charter, including banks, insurers, mortgage brokers, and virtual currency businesses, must comply.
Limited exemptions exist for organizations that meet at least one of the following criteria: fewer than 20 employees, less than $7.5 million in annual revenue, or less than $15 million in year-end total assets. However, even exempt organizations must still comply with certain core requirements.
A Class A company has at least $20 million in annual New York gross revenue and either 2,000 or more employees or more than $1 billion in global revenue. These organizations face stricter requirements, including independent audits, endpoint detection and response, privileged access management, and enhanced monitoring controls.
NYDFS is prescriptive. It requires specific controls like a designated CISO, universal MFA, and asset inventory. SOC 2 is descriptive. You design controls that meet trust services criteria. NYDFS also requires annual certification to the superintendent, while SOC 2 requires a third-party auditor examination.
Yes. Vanta helps support Class A requirements with independent audit prep, EDR monitoring through integrations, privileged access reviews, and centralized logging. Automated evidence collection, access review workflows, and Vanta’s audit portal make it easier to demonstrate compliance with enhanced controls.
