Why this matters

Every year, New York Mortgage brokers are expected to prove compliance with the 23NYCRR500—written risk assessment, updated policies, employee training, third-party oversight, and detailed incident reporting within 72 hours. Most companies are behind. You can still get ahead—if you start today.
Sources: LDI Bulletin 2021-04; Louisiana IDSL (Act 283); LDI guidance on incident reporting.

What’s inside the checklist

  • Gap scan: risk assessment, policies, training records, phishing simulations
  • Third-party oversight: what you must require and document
  • Evidence pack: what to show an auditor
  • Printable tracker: Done / Not Done / Owner / Due Date
  • Last-mile plan: prioritize what to fix before February

Interstate Home Loan Center, Inc.


“The biggest single benefit for us is that there's always someone there to take our call and help us fix our issue or answer our question. When COVID19 hit, Motiva was really good during this stressful time since they were set up with the tools to have us work from home from the start. If someone was on the fence about choosing Motiva. "Get off the fence and use Motiva”

"The biggest benefit has been peace of mind. I’m confident that I’m covering all the necessary bases while professionals keep an eye on my systems and offer help whenever needed.
Despite my limited tech skills, Motiva made the transition smooth and easy. David, who guided me through the process, was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind.
I had a limited exam from NYS DFS, on cybersecurity. When I had questions, and I had many, I reached out to Megan who was very patient and helpful throughout.


Having worked with three other firms before, I never felt fully supported. The comfort level I have now with Motiva is unparalleled. Every interaction with the staff at Motiva was great. Making the switch to Motiva to handle my cybersecurity was the best decision I made.


As a small company, I never expected to find a company like Motiva to work with. They deliver the best value and service I’ve found."
