The New York Department of Financial Services has extended the annual deadline for filing Certifications of Compliance with its cybersecurity regulation to April 15 (formerly February 15). The change is effective in 2020 and will remain in place for subsequent years. Certifications for calendar year 2019 may be filed by regulated entities any time between January 1 and April 15, 2020. Entities that previously filed a Notice of Exemption do not need to refile those notices, but if there have been changes to an entity’s exemption status, those updates should be filed accordingly with DFS.
