Our Edge · For Title & Escrow Companies
Close with confidence. Protect every wire.
Every closing moves money and sensitive personal data through your office. Longsword gives your title company flat-rate, 24/7 security and a Written Information Security Plan (WISP) we build and keep current, so your files, your funds, and your lender and underwriter relationships stay protected.
The Reality
Closings are where fraudsters strike, and where your paperwork gets examined.
Wire fraud lives in your inbox
Business email compromise and spoofed payment instructions target closings directly. One convincing email can redirect a buyer's or seller's funds.
A written-plan expectation
Title companies are generally treated as financial institutions under the FTC Safeguards Rule (Gramm-Leach-Bliley), and ALTA Best Practices (Pillar 3, protecting non-public personal information) calls for a written information security program that underwriters and lenders increasingly ask about.
Trust is the product
Buyers, sellers, lenders, and agents hand you identity documents and bank details. A documented, enforced security program is part of how you earn the next referral.
