Cyber Security for Estate Agencies in North West
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.
North West-based security for estate agencies: We protect estate agencies across North West 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, and remote-first across the whole North West. 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 North West Estate Agents Need Specialist Cyber Protection
The North West has one of the UK's most diverse property markets. From Liverpool city centre apartments and Baltic Triangle conversions to two million pound homes in Alderley Edge and Prestbury, estate agents across the region handle transactions at every price point. Each transaction requires AML identity verification, generating a trail of passports, bank statements and personal data that agents are responsible for protecting.
Conveyancing fraud is a nationwide problem, but the North West's combination of high-value Cheshire properties, active Liverpool regeneration and affordable Lancashire housing means agents across the region are exposed. The SRA has flagged conveyancing fraud as a persistent risk, and estate agents are often the first link in the chain where client data is collected.
We operate from the Liverpool City Region with coverage from the Wirral to Lancaster. Whether your agency handles premium Cheshire sales, Liverpool city lettings or Lancashire residential, we provide cyber security that protects client data, secures your property portal connections and helps you meet AML compliance obligations.

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 help estate agencies close exactly these gaps: a verified callback before any change of bank details, MFA on every mailbox, and alerts on mailbox forwarding rules.
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, so recovery is measured in hours, not days. 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 North West branch?
Remote support is our default, and most issues are resolved that way without needing anyone on site. Our North West-based team gives suspected fraud and other critical incidents immediate priority.
Can you secure our branch network across North West?
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?
We secure digital key systems, protect viewing schedules from competitors, and ensure sensitive property information stays confidential. Security extends beyond just computers.
