Protecting Transactions, Tenant Data, and Wire Transfers
Real Estate

Real estate transactions involve the largest single wire transfers most individuals ever make — making real estate firms primary business email compromise targets. Property management firms hold tenant PII at scale. Mortgage operations face GLBA and FTC Safeguards requirements.

The Stakes in Real Estate IT

Your Technology Challenges Are Different from Everyone Else's

A network outage for most businesses means lost productivity. At closing it means transactions that cannot fund and wire instructions nobody can verify. The demands on your IT infrastructure — and your IT partner — are
categorically higher.

01

Closing Wire Fraud Prevention

Real estate closing BEC attacks have resulted in losses ranging from tens of thousands to millions of dollars per incident. Standard email security does not prevent these attacks — targeted controls and procedures do.

02

Multi-Office and Multi-Entity Complexity

Real estate companies often operate multiple entities, franchises, and offices under common ownership. Consistent security across a fragmented organizational structure requires centralized management.

03

Tenant Data Volume

Large property management firms manage thousands of tenant records — creating significant breach liability under state data breach notification laws if systems are not properly secured.

Compliance and Regulatory

Wire Fraud Prevention Compliance & Regulatory Requirements

BetterWorld Technology designs and manages your compliance program as a continuous service — not a one-time project. Your Wire Fraud Prevention obligations are covered by the same managed security program that handles your 24/7 monitoring and incident response.

Business Email Compromise and Wire Fraud

Real estate transactions are the most targeted transaction type for business email compromise. Attackers intercept closing communications, substitute wire instructions, and steal closing funds — often unrecoverable once transferred.

FTC Safeguards for Mortgage Operations

Mortgage lenders, brokers, and servicers are covered financial institutions under GLBA and the FTC Safeguards Rule — requiring formal information security programs, risk assessments, and designated security coordinators.

Tenant PII and Fair Housing Data

Property management firms collect tenant PII at scale — applications, background checks, income verification, and payment data. State privacy laws and fair housing regulations create specific data handling and retention obligations.
