Your brokerage handles buyers' down payments and a pile of client information, across a busy team of agents who work from everywhere. There is no single real-estate cybersecurity law in Florida, but the duty to protect that money and that data is real, and so is the cost to your name when it goes wrong. We build the protections in and document them, so the work does not land on you.
The National Association of Realtors' Data Security and Privacy Toolkit offers checklists, recommendations, and tips that align with FTC guidance and current industry standards and practices.
That toolkit is voluntary best practice, not law. Florida real-estate licensing does not impose a specific cybersecurity mandate. Florida's data-breach law sets the baseline duty if client information is exposed. The real drivers here are wire fraud, client trust, and your brokerage's reputation.

We do not provide legal advice, and we do not guarantee any outcome.The attacks aimed at your closings, your agents, and your clients' data, and the defense we put in place for each.
A spoofed email sends a buyer fake wire instructions and their down payment is gone. We lock down email authentication so the impersonation fails.
A phishing email captures one agent's password and the attacker is inside your deals and contacts. We set up the logins and controls that keep accounts shut.
Your agents carry client names, finances, and IDs on phones and laptops. We make sure that information is protected wherever your team works.
An attacker forges your brokerage's address to fool buyers, agents, and title partners. We set up authentication so fakes get rejected.
Real protection around your closings and your team, built in and documented.
Detailed documents and real assessments, built around how your brokerage works and yours to keep. No software to buy, and no per-seat contract.
We set up your email authentication and close the gaps that let a buyer's wire get rerouted, the attack that hits real estate hardest.
We set up multi-factor logins and secure access across your distributed team, so one phished password does not become a breach.
A clear picture of where your brokerage stands across email, accounts, devices, and network, with a prioritized list of what to fix first.
We go past the paperwork and harden the systems your team uses every day: laptops and phones, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, your office WiFi, and your email.
We work alongside them as your independent security check, confirming the protection you pay for is actually in place. This is a review, not a penetration test.
A local cybersecurity analyst who knows your brokerage, one call away when a deal or an email looks off.
