IT & CYBERSECURITY FOR
REAL ESTATE & TITLE COMPANIES.

Real Estate Brokerages

Agent email security, MLS access controls, client PII protection, transaction record retention, and secure document sharing for your entire brokerage.

Title Companies

Wire fraud prevention is mission-critical. We protect closing communications, client PII, and transaction records — and implement the verification procedures that prevent fund diversion.

Mortgage Companies

FTC Safeguards Rule compliance, borrower financial data protection, secure document upload portals, and encrypted storage for loan files and applications.

A real estate wire fraud attack follows a predictable pattern that exploits the high-pressure, deadline-driven nature of closings. First, a criminal gains access to an email account — either by phishing a real estate agent, title officer, or buyer, or by registering a look-alike domain that mimics your company's address.

Then they wait. The attacker monitors email threads for weeks or months, learning the names of all parties, the closing date, and the expected wire amount. They understand the transaction timeline better than most participants.

At the critical moment — hours before closing — they send what appears to be an official wire instruction update from the title company. The email looks right. The name is right. The urgency feels real. The buyer wires hundreds of thousands of dollars to a fraudulent account.

Within hours, the funds are moved through multiple international accounts and are practically irrecoverable. Victims have less than 72 hours to attempt a recall — and recovery rates are below 30%. The average loss per incident is $446,000. For many small brokerages and title companies, a single successful attack is business-ending.

DMARC / Email Authentication

Configure DMARC, DKIM, and SPF at enforcement (p=reject) to prevent criminals from spoofing your domain when contacting your clients with fraudulent wire instructions.

Advanced Email Security

AI-powered impersonation detection flags look-alike domains (yourcompany-title.com vs yourcompanytitle.com), display name spoofing, and account takeover attempts before they reach your inbox.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Account takeover is the #1 prerequisite for wire fraud. MFA on every email account, MLS account, and transaction management system eliminates the attacker's ability to send from a compromised address.

Wire Verification Procedures

We help you implement and document the written policy that stops wire fraud: phone callback on a pre-verified number before every wire, dual-approval thresholds, and client communication about your verification process.

Security Awareness Training

Quarterly simulated BEC attacks specific to real estate scenarios. Your agents and title officers learn to recognize impersonation attempts and execute wire verification — even under deadline pressure.

Client PII & Document Security

Encrypted storage for financial documents, Social Security numbers, and identity documents. Access controls so only authorized staff can view sensitive client files. Audit logging of all access.

FTC SAFEGUARDS &
FLORIDA COMPLIANCE.

The FTC Safeguards Rule requires mortgage companies and many real estate-related businesses that handle nonpublic personal financial information to implement a comprehensive Written Information Security Program (WISP). This means documented risk assessments, access controls, encryption, employee training, and vendor oversight — not just good intentions.

Florida's breach notification law (FDBNA) requires prompt notification to affected consumers and the Florida Attorney General when covered data is compromised. Simply IT maintains your compliance posture so a breach doesn't compound into a regulatory penalty.
