The real estate sector is under constant attack

Real estate is about people, data, and communications. That’s an irresistible combination for hackers.

AI is only making their job easier, and your business more vulnerable. But you don’t need a dedicated security department to thwart them.

Real estate runs on relationships and data, and DropVault seamlessly protects both.

One simple move will supercharge your security, privacy, and compliance

When you bring your client discussions and documents inside DropVault, you’re immediately eliminating most of the security, privacy, and fraud threats that real estate transactions are exposed to.

You don’t need a security budget or team, nothing to install, download, or maintain, and nothing to learn. You can be up and running in just a few minutes and none of your clients will need to be DropVault users either.

And while your security and privacy are increasing, so is your efficiency. Invite every party to a transaction – clients, vendors, contractors, lenders – into your secure channel, track every conversation, discussion, and decision, and get projects, tasks, and contracts automatically signed.

Improve Your Security

More than 80% of cyber attacks and scams start with email. By moving conversations and negotiations away from email, you’re significantly reducing any email borne attacks like phishing, business e-mail compromise, and wire fraud.

And with the surge in AI and deepfake impersonation crimes, and especially wire fraud targeting real estate, email should never be used as a channel to conduct any real estate conversations or transactions.

If there’s a security or data breach at your office, at any of the services you use to store documents, or at your email or website provider, everything you’ve exchanged with your clients through DropVault is still completely safe.

Improve Your Privacy

Privacy risks are almost completely eliminated because nothing sensitive is ever sent by email, saved to an inbox, or stored on a hard drive or laptop. Every single conversation and document is encrypted on the fly and stored in encrypted format forever.

Only you get to decide who can see what. No matter how sensitive a conversation or document is, you and your clients can be confident that there won’t be any accidental sharing or exposure.

Improve Your Compliance

Compliance becomes so much easier with DropVault. No matter how many clients you have or documents you share, every single conversation and document is encrypted and archived as well as any modifications, changes, and edits.

If anyone downloads or opens a document, or attempts to change it, that’s also recorded. So there’s no chance of, for example, a client or contractor claiming that they didn’t see a material change or read an important document.

And even if you have thousands of documents going back many years, a single document or conversation can be located in a matter of seconds along with any associated comments or edits.

Improve Your Efficiency

A single real estate transaction can often involve multiple parties, documents, and tasks, and over many months. With DropVault you can create a secure discussion channel just for a particular transaction, like the sale of a property, that makes it much easier to manage all those moving parts.

That channel conversation could include the clients, lenders, title company, insurance representatives, home inspector, construction team, architect, photographers and videographers, stagers, etc.

All the parties could all talk to each other or be restricted to whom they can speak with. Tasks and projects can be assigned and followed up, and documents and agreements digitally signed. And you get to view, manage, and control everything from a single screen.

Improve Your Bottom Line

Chances are you’re not as worried about security and privacy as you should be. But chances are your clients are, and especially about where their highly sensitive information might end up.

Security and privacy are an increasingly powerful marketing tool. As a certified DropVault user you have a chance to set yourself apart from your competitors by reminding potential customers that their security and privacy are paramount and assured.

And our “Verified by DropVault” seal is also a great way to build trust and generate leads.

As easy as email.

If you and your clients can use email, then you can use DropVault. No hardware or software, no downloads or plugins, no training or expertise. Just log in and enjoy the most powerful suite of security and privacy features imaginable.

Protect Client Conversations

Every conversation between you and your clients should be treated as secure, private, and confidential. And by default, meaning it happens automatically so that no one forgets. By bringing these conversations inside your DropVault portal, all those conversations are encrypted automatically and forever. And only you can decrypt them.

And even better, your clients don’t have to be DropVault users.

Protect Client Documents

Real estate transactions can involve the exchange of a lot of documents, and many of those documents can be highly sensitive. Whether it’s mortgage applications, credit and financial information, banking information, employment history, or contracts and agreements, your clients need to be confident that they can share that information with you without worry.

Every Transaction, One Conversation

Create a secure discussion channel just for a particular transaction, like the sale of a property. That portal conversation could include the clients, lenders, title company, insurance representatives, home inspector, construction team, architect, photographers and videographers, stagers, etc.

Every discussion, message, comment, and document all in one place, all fully encrypted, with tracking and project assignments, and a global view in an instant.

Protect Board And Team Conversations

Much of what you share internally, whether it’s ideas, conversations, or documents, should never go beyond your inner circle. Keeping those conversations and documents inside DropVault not only protects them, but helps you sign, track, store, and delete them.

Prevent Phishing Attacks

Phishing is still the first step in most cyber attacks, and most of these attacks involve e-mail. With more than 3 billion phishing emails in circulation every single day it’s easy to see why they can be so devastating. DropVault eliminates the threat of phishing attacks, as well as the data breach and ransomware attacks they can trigger.

Prevent Business Email Compromise Attacks

Fraudsters and scammers understand real estate almost as much as you do, and according to the FBI real estate BEC scams regularly target buyers and sellers, attorneys, title companies, and agents. Moving these discussions into a safe room is your best bet.

Protect Against Wire Fraud

With wire fraud in real estate now costing hundreds of millions of dollars every year, a simple way to minimize that risk is to move all clients conversations, transactions, and contracts to a secure and private channel where they can’t be intercepted or spoofed.

Protect Internal Discussions

With DropVault you can create a series of private conversation rooms, or channels. It can be for your entire team or just subsets of your team. A dedicated channel just for partners and vendors. Or channels dedicated just to individual customers and clients. And everything shared in those channels is private and secure by default.

Build Confidence And Trust

A strong security and privacy posture has always been a great way to build trust and confidence with clients. And even more so in real estate when those clients are trusting you with their information and money.

Keep Track of Everything

DropVault will not only allow you to store and archive all conversations and documents forever, but will also help you to keep track of who accesses those documents, how, and when. And by watermarking and time stamping every document, you’ll always know where they are and who has them.

Reduce Legal Exposure

Minimizing your legal exposure in the event of a security incident, privacy failure, or data breach doesn’t require that you prove maximum security. But simply that you went above and beyond the basics, and especially focusing on sensitive conversations and documents. DropVault can give you that protection.

Achieve Privacy And Compliance

Access to sensitive and confidential documents and discussions is restricted to parties to the discussions or to others who are authorized and invited. That helps minimize the risks of accidental or deliberate privacy violations and also helps meet most privacy and data retention compliance requirements.

No Downloads, Software, or Learning

Your clients don’t have to install or subscribe to DropVault in order to use it. Just send them an e-mail with a link and they’re in. If you want to enhance security, it’s easy to add a password or PIN requirement.
