We help companies design privacy and cybersecurity programs that work in the real world—mapping data, tightening controls, and preparing for incidents and audits. For New York financial and fintech clients, we align programs with the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR 500), including risk-based controls, governance, and annual certifications. We also implement SHIELD Act safeguards (reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures) and breach-response workflows tailored to New York definitions of “breach” (including unauthorized access).

Our work spans privacy notices, DPIAs, vendor contracts/DPAs, security policies, tabletop exercises, and incident response across sectors. The service profile mirrors NYC market practice showcased by leading firms’ privacy/cyber groups (e.g., Debevoise, Frankfurt Kurnit, Patterson Belknap).

Typical deliverables

• NYDFS/SHIELD-aligned program build or refresh; governance and board reporting.

• Incident response playbooks and breach notification matrices for multi-state matters.

• Vendor risk management (DPAs, security addenda, audits) and international data-transfer strategies.

• Training, testing, and executive tabletop drills.
