The consequences of non-compliance include:

• Heavy Financial Penalties: Fines can reach $1,000 per violation per day, with recent settlements in the industry exceeding $2 million.

Regulatory Scrutiny: Once you are flagged, your agency will be under a microscope, requiring exhaustive documentation and frequent mandatory audits.

Operational Bans: In severe cases, you could lose your license or your ability to operate in the state of New York.

Reputational Damage: A public consent order from the NYDFS tells your clients and partners that their sensitive data isn't safe with you.

Compliance is no longer a "check the box" activity. You must document every cybersecurity effort and provide concrete proof of compliance to avoid these outcomes.
