Property technology guide

Cybersecurity priorities for real estate agencies

Property businesses are highly connected environments where email, trust accounting, property platforms and mobile work all need protection.

Why property businesses are targeted

Real estate teams exchange contracts, identity documents, payment instructions and sensitive owner and tenant information. A compromised mailbox can be used to redirect payments or impersonate a trusted person.

Controls that reduce common risks

Security should protect everyday workflows without preventing agents and property managers from working across offices and mobile devices.

  • Multi-factor authentication for email and business platforms
  • MailGuard or suitable email filtering and impersonation protection
  • Managed endpoint detection and patching
  • Restricted administrator access
  • Protected backups with tested recovery
  • Security awareness focused on payment and credential scams
