You'll get value from this if

  • You run a real estate agency and want a structured IT security review
  • Your trust account auditor or insurer asked about cyber posture
  • A peer agency was hit with settlement fraud and you want to avoid the same outcome

This is not

  • Advice on real estate licensing, trust account regulation, or state-based property law
  • A formal IT audit (that is the CIO Tech IT Audit, fixed scope, fixed fee)
  • A substitute for staff training on settlement and bank-detail change verification
