The IT challenges real estate and property management firms face
Agents work from phones and cars, closings move large sums of money, and criminals target every transaction with fake wire instructions. Property managers juggle tenant data, owner payments and maintenance systems across many sites.
Security and compliance
Closing wire fraud usually starts with email compromise. Multi-factor authentication, email protection, monitoring for suspicious sign-ins and firm call-back rules for any wire instruction protect clients and commissions. Mobile device management keeps company data safe on the phones agents carry.
Software we work with
We keep the systems behind your CRM, transaction management, property management and accounting software running, including the devices, access and Microsoft 365 accounts around them. Vendors support their own platforms. Common examples include property management platforms such as Yardi, AppFolio, Buildium and Rent Manager, along with transaction tools like SkySlope and dotloop and your MLS and CRM.
How we help
- Email compromise protection for closings and owner payments.
- Mobile device security for agents.
- Microsoft 365 administration.
- Secure document sharing with clients.
- Training for agents and staff on wire fraud warning signs.
If data is exposed
Client financial details and tenant applications are covered by state breach laws, which set deadlines for telling the people affected. Encryption, multi-factor authentication and good logging make a breach less likely and much easier to scope. Our guide to data breach notification laws explains the deadlines and who to notify.

Every quote is written for your environment after a short call about your users, devices and the systems you rely on. Agreements are longer-term rather than month to month, which gives us time to document your systems and close security gaps properly. Request a quote.
