The real estate sector is under constant attack
With billions of dollars in transactions every year, the real estate industry has always been a magnet for hackers and fraudsters.
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.
Real estate is about people, data, and communications. That’s an irresistible combination for hackers.
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.
Even better, inviting your clients couldn’t be easier. A time sensitive e-mail link is all it takes, and they’re in. And everything they and you share after that is automatically encrypted and protected.
For additional protection a complete audit trail with e-signatures and watermarks helps you keep track of every document shared and exchanged, where they are, and who’s viewing them.
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 protected automatically and forever.
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.
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.
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.
