Client ID and settlement details moving by email? We'll help you secure both.
- Buyers and sellers email ID
- Settlement documents and ID sit
- One compromised email account could
- Old files hold ID long
Settlement work combines two things attackers want: client identity documents and payment details. ID arrives by email from buyers and sellers, and a single compromised inbox can be used to redirect settlement funds. We help settlement practices secure client ID records and harden the email accounts that settlements depend on.

- Onsite across Perth, or remote
- No lock-in contract
- Business and home IT
Where the risk sits in a settlement practice
- Buyers and sellers email ID and bank details
- Settlement documents and ID sit together in shared folders
- One compromised email account could be used to change payment details
