Who we help · Real estate
Keep an inbox compromise from becoming a stolen closing.
Wire fraud in real estate almost always starts with a mailbox an attacker should never have been able to reach. We close that path and give your team and your clients a way to catch the ones that get through.
The pressure you’re under
What’s actually being asked of you
Business-email compromise and wire fraud
Real estate is one of the most-targeted industries for wire fraud. An attacker in an agent’s or a title company’s inbox sends altered wiring instructions, and the buyer’s funds are gone. The FBI tracks this as one of the costliest crimes by dollar loss.
Client trust data
Brokerages hold financial documents, IDs, and personal information for every party in a transaction. A breach is a notification event across dozens of people per deal.
State licensing and E&O expectations
Errors-and-omissions carriers and state regulators increasingly expect documented data-handling and breach-response practices.
A distributed, part-time workforce
Agents work from personal devices, home networks, and phones. The security has to reach them there, not just the office.
What we do about it
The work, in plain terms
- Lock down email against spoofing and impersonation with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC at enforcement.
- Enforce MFA on every agent and staff mailbox and on transaction-management systems.
- Deploy managed EDR and enforce disk encryption on office and agent devices.
- Add external-sender warnings and impersonation protection so altered wiring instructions stand out.
- Run frequent, targeted phishing simulations and short training focused on wire-fraud scenarios.
- Provide a clear, written "verify wiring instructions by phone" procedure and help you roll it out to clients.
- Back up Microsoft 365 and brokerage data with tested restores.
- Provide an incident response plan tuned for suspected fund diversion, and be your first call.
Where brokerages usually start with us: an email deliverability and anti-spoofing project plus a Microsoft 365 Security Baseline, then a Secure-tier monthly plan covering agents and staff.
