Notice Details

The City of New York (the “City”), through its Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”) has 17 public facing applications and 200+ internal administrative applications under the purview of HPDTech, the technology division. The application layer is the most vulnerable to external attacks as evidenced by the outcome of the ongoing Crowdsourced security assessment program conducted by the third-party security firm SynAck. Applications, when not properly hardened and secured, create the entryway for adversaries to gain access to sensitive data or even allow for the complete compromise of the underlying system. This project ensures the proper tracking and remediation of vulnerabilities reported by NYC3 Cyber command. NYC HPD strive to be in compliance with the internal controls, regulatory and information security policies and procedures of HPD and NYC3. This would ensure the security of all protected information collected, used, maintained, or released by HPD.
