Managed Security Service Provider: Real Estate

BEC and wire fraud protection starts with monitoring the email accounts and credentials that attackers target. MCK's managed security watches for the early indicators of account compromise: unusual login locations, forwarding rules being added, access from unrecognised devices, and abnormal email patterns. These are the signals that typically precede a fraudulent wire instruction by days or weeks. When MCK identifies suspicious activity, your team is notified immediately so you can verify any pending wire instructions before funds move. Prevention is the priority. Recovery after the fact is rarely possible.

Yes. Remote agent coverage is part of the standard MCK managed service, not an add-on. MCK deploys endpoint protection and access controls that follow your agents regardless of where they are working. Zero trust network access means agents connect to your firm's systems through a secure, monitored channel rather than an open VPN. Access is controlled by identity and role, so a compromised device or stolen credential cannot reach your full transaction platform or client files. Coverage extends across company devices and can be scoped to include personal devices used for work access.

No active transactions are disrupted during onboarding. MCK starts with a network and security assessment that is entirely passive. No changes are made during this phase. Transition work is staged and scheduled around your firm's calendar, with any configuration changes agreed in advance. For brokerages with active closings, MCK works around scheduled transaction windows. Your MLS access, CRM, e-signature platforms, and email systems remain fully operational throughout. Most real estate clients are fully onboarded within three to four weeks.

MCK cannot control the internal security of third-party platforms, but it can control how your firm connects to them and what access those platforms have to your network. ZTNA and DLP capabilities within the managed service restrict what data can move between your internal systems and connected platforms, and monitor for unusual data transfers or access patterns. MCK also monitors the credentials your team uses to access those platforms. If an agent's MLS or CRM login is compromised, MCK flags the anomaly before the attacker can pivot into your broader network or client data.

When a confirmed threat is identified, response begins immediately without waiting for you to raise a ticket. Detection is handled by CORTAI's AI-driven platform, which correlates signals across your email systems, endpoints, and network traffic to surface threats in real time. In a real estate environment where BEC and wire fraud move fast, that speed matters. Once a threat is confirmed, containment happens at the network level first to prevent it from reaching active transaction data. Your designated contact receives a direct call from MCK's team with a clear summary of what was found and what action is being taken. You are kept informed throughout and never left waiting for a status update.
