Mailbox trust

A compromised inbox can be used to impersonate staff, change instructions, request documents or mislead clients.

Portal and CRM access

Property portals, CRM systems, shared mailboxes and cloud storage often contain more personal data than expected.

£

Deposits and instructions

What the check covers.

The check is built around how property businesses actually work: inboxes, portals, viewings, deposits, contractors and client data.

Mailbox and portal trust.

Attackers know property teams work through long email chains, shared inboxes and fast replies.

  • MFA enforced for staff, admin and shared mailbox access.
  • CRM and portal users reviewed when staff leave or change role.
  • DMARC, DKIM and SPF configured to reduce spoofing.

Deposits, suppliers and payment instructions.

One fake instruction can be expensive, embarrassing and difficult to unwind.

  • Out-of-band verification for payment instruction changes.
  • Staff trained on fake buyer, landlord and contractor emails.
  • Clear escalation route for suspicious payment requests.

Tenant, landlord, buyer and seller records.

Property businesses hold ID documents, references, contracts, viewing notes and sensitive personal records.

  • Secure handling of identity documents and references.
  • Protected mobile devices and laptops used during viewings.
  • Supplier risk checks for referencing platforms, contractors and outsourced IT.
