Fisch Solutions announced a comprehensive cybersecurity compliance guide for New York small businesses facing updated NYDFS 23 NYCRR Part 500 requirements. The New Windsor-based IT firm developed the resource to help local organizations meet critical April and May 2025 deadlines.
-- Fisch Solutions has released a detailed cybersecurity compliance guide targeting New York small businesses dealing with the updated NYDFS 23 NYCRR Part 500 regulations, taking effect in stages throughout 2025. The managed IT services provider created the resource to address growing concerns among local finance, healthcare, law, real estate, and technology firms about meeting state-mandated security standards.

The updated regulations apply to covered entities across multiple industries that manage sensitive client data or digital records. All affected businesses were required to submit their compliance status by April 15th, 2025, and implement technical controls by May 1st, 2025. The final deadline for extended monitoring and asset inventory requirements takes effect on November 1st, 2025.
The guide outlines a three-step compliance framework starting with a security assessment covering network infrastructure, device management, staff practices, and data storage protocols. Organizations can evaluate their current use of multi-factor authentication, password management systems, regular software updates, backup procedures, and firewall protections.
Fisch Solutions identified specific implementation requirements, including role-based access controls, monthly phishing awareness training, routine vulnerability scans, and documented security policies. The firm emphasized that enabling multi-factor authentication and updating systems can reduce common vulnerabilities significantly.
"Cyber threats and regulations continue to change, which is why New York businesses need clear guidance on compliance requirements," a spokesperson for Fisch Solutions said. "Small businesses often believe they're too small to be targeted, but that assumption no longer holds true in today's threat environment."
The guide addresses common compliance challenges facing Hudson Valley businesses, including limited internal IT resources and rapidly changing regulatory requirements. Fisch Solutions recommended quarterly compliance reviews covering access permission audits, vulnerability scans, incident response plan reviews, and backup verification tests.
Cybersecurity compliance extends beyond regulatory requirements to protect businesses from data loss, operational downtime, and reputational damage. Meeting state standards can strengthen client relationships and provide competitive advantages during sales conversations.
