Cross-cutting: subprocessor transparency and US data residency are NYDFS examination expectations.

Posture changes frequently — re-verify with the vendor's trust center before contract. State filter views surface vendors with explicit state engagement on the axes most relevant to that state's regulatory frame; they do not replace deployer-side state compliance work.
