Cyber Security for Estate Agencies in Cheshire
Local security expertise for client data protection, transaction security, and AML compliance
Independent, Bromborough-based, Microsoft Partner. You deal with Eric.
Conveyancing fraud costs UK buyers millions annually. Client databases contain everything criminals need for identity theft. One compromised email can redirect a house deposit.
Cheshire-based security for estate agencies: We protect estate agencies across Cheshire and the wider North West. I know AML regulations, GDPR, and Property Ombudsman requirements, and I build security around the software you actually use: Alto, Reapit, Dezrez.
You deal with Eric. Twenty years of cloud and security architecture in regulated environments, working from Thursby House in Bromborough, within half an hour of most of Cheshire, from Ellesmere Port to Northwich. The person who scopes the work is the person who does it, so nothing gets lost between a salesperson and a delivery team.
Six questions, about two minutes. You get a written fix list in the order worth closing things, and it is yours to keep whether we ever speak or not.

Why Cheshire Estate Agents Need Robust Cyber Security
Cheshire contains some of the most expensive residential property in the North of England. Homes in Alderley Edge, Prestbury and Wilmslow regularly exceed one million pounds, and the conveyancing transactions attached to them involve substantial sums moving between solicitors, agents and buyers. AML compliance for estate agents handling these high-value sales is critical, and the client identity data collected during verification is exactly the kind of information attackers target.
Beyond the premium market, Cheshire has a diverse property landscape. The towns of Crewe, Macclesfield, Congleton and Northwich all have active residential markets with local and regional estate agents handling sales, lettings and property management. Cheshire East alone has over 32,500 registered companies, and 9.46% of them operate in real estate activities, the third largest sector by count.
From our Liverpool City Region base, Knutsford is approximately 35 minutes via the M6. We provide cyber security to Cheshire estate agents who need to protect client data, secure their Rightmove and Zoopla integrations, and meet AML obligations without adding complexity to their operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you protect against conveyancing fraud?
Multiple layers: email security catches spoofed solicitor addresses, verification processes for any bank detail changes, and staff training that recognises social engineering. We track the tactics fraudsters use and build defences to stop them.
What happens if we get hit by ransomware?
Our EDR detects ransomware in seconds and isolates affected systems. Clean backups mean we restore your data without paying ransom. Recovery is designed to get your agency back to full operation quickly. Your clients' data stays protected.
Will security slow down Alto/Reapit?
No. Our protection is designed for property software. We whitelist legitimate applications, optimise scanning schedules, and ensure security doesn't impact the tools you rely on daily.
How quickly can you respond to issues at our Cheshire branch?
Remote support starts quickly, often within minutes. For on-site needs at Cheshire branches, we schedule fast, senior attention. Suspected fraud is always treated as immediate priority for remote response.
Can you secure our branch network across Cheshire?
Absolutely. We provide consistent protection across all branches with centralised management. Each location gets enterprise security without enterprise complexity.
What about protecting viewing schedules and keys?
