Continuous Compliance & Regulatory Oversight Engine
Closing Deals or Facing Regulators? Avoid the Common Traps.
You purchase an automated tool like Drata or Vanta and receive a dashboard with 120 failing tests. Your software engineers get pulled away from building revenue to configure SAML, MDM, and cloud firewalls at 11 PM.
Outcome: Stalled engineering & incomplete audit.Traditional consultancies bill $450/hr for junior analysts who have never touched a terminal. Meanwhile, your IT MSP faces an inherent conflict of interest auditing their own infrastructure, which DFS regulators reject.
Outcome: Sky-high invoices & regulatory scrutiny.An architect with 25+ years in infrastructure directly authors your policies, remediates IAM/cloud posture, configures automation, liaises with auditors, and serves as your named CISO on state filings.
Outcome: Clean attestation, fixed price, zero headache.Designed for NYC state-chartered banks, insurance underwriters/brokers, RIAs, private lenders, and BitLicense crypto firms. We eliminate executive liability.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Firms qualifying for the Section 500.19 Limited Exemption (fewer than 20 employees or under $5M revenue) are only exempt from certain heavy requirements (like an internal full-time CISO and BCDR plans). However, they are still legally mandated to maintain risk assessments, enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA), establish third-party vendor policies, encrypt non-public data, and file annual notices on the DFS portal.
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) manage day-to-day IT plumbing. However, having an MSP audit its own infrastructure creates a direct regulatory conflict of interest under NY DFS and SEC guidelines. Furthermore, MSPs typically do not sign their names as your Designated Named CISO. 29 Edgar Corp acts as an independent, objective advisory layer that handles policies, board presentations, and regulatory attestations while coordinating seamlessly with your existing MSP.
Drata continuously monitors your cloud and identity systems via secure APIs, automating up to 85% of evidence collection. As an official partner in Launch—The Drata Alliance Program, 29 Edgar Corp configures the platform, fixes cloud posture errors, writes your policies, and connects your systems so you are audit-ready without manual spreadsheets.
Yes. Under NY DFS §500.4, covered entities may retain an outsourced third-party vCISO to lead cybersecurity program governance, deliver annual board reports, and manage regulatory attestations.
A standard readiness sprint takes 3 to 5 weeks. The initial Gap Assessment is completed in 1 week. Once readiness is verified, we introduce you to trusted CPA audit partners for the formal attestation period.
