Financial services compliance, examiner-ready
Banks, lenders, insurers, payment firms and fintechs face overlapping rules from several regulators plus their own customers. CMDash tracks the frameworks you answer to from one set of evidence.
Regulatory and customer pressure
NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500
Covered entities in New York maintain a cybersecurity program, designate a CISO, and file an annual certification of compliance.
DORA
Financial entities operating in the EU, and the ICT providers they depend on, face the Digital Operational Resilience Act.
SEC cyber disclosure
Public companies disclose material cybersecurity incidents and describe their risk management in annual reports.
PCI DSS and SOX ITGC
Handling cardholder data brings PCI DSS; public-company financial reporting brings IT general controls testing.
Threats that target this industry
Fraud and account takeover
Credential stuffing and social engineering target customers and staff alike.
Concentration in third parties
Core processors, cloud providers and data vendors are single points of failure that examiners ask about by name.
Ransomware and extortion
Data theft and extortion put regulatory notification clocks on top of the operational damage.
The frameworks CMDash tracks for you
Crosswalked, so one piece of evidence counts twice:
- DORA and NIST Cybersecurity Framework (1.1, legacy)
- PCI DSS v4.0.1 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022
- PCI DSS v4.0.1 and NIST Cybersecurity Framework (1.1, legacy)
- SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022
Capabilities that matter most here
Framework tracking and crosswalk
One control status can serve PCI DSS and ISO 27001, and DORA and PCI DSS map to NIST CSF, where the crosswalk overlaps.
Controls tracked with owners, status and evidence. A status change carries to overlapping controls in other frameworks.
Regulatory radar
Track DORA, NYDFS 500 and SEC cyber disclosure dates with readiness mapping.
