Property management · real estate ops

You hold tenants' data and move their money — both are targets.

Property managers sit on two valuable things at once: tenant personal and financial information, and a steady flow of rent, deposits, and vendor payments. That combination puts them in range of both data-theft and funds-transfer fraud.

The exposure

What underwriters and attackers actually look at

Tenant PII is the data exposure; rent, deposit, and owner-distribution payments are the funds-transfer exposure. The controls that matter most are out-of-band verification on payment and bank-detail changes and identity protection on the inboxes that handle them.

FAQ

Property Management: common security questions

What cybersecurity rules apply to a property manager?

Property managers who screen tenants with credit or background reports are subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including the FTC Disposal Rule for consumer-report data.

State breach-notification laws cover tenant personal information, and your management agreements make you the custodian of owner funds and tenant data.

What's the biggest cyber risk in property management?

Business email compromise that redirects rent or owner-distribution payments, plus theft of the identity data on rental applications (SSNs, bank details, IDs). Out-of-band verification of payment changes and identity protection on the inboxes that handle money are the controls that matter most.

How much does managed cybersecurity cost for a property-management firm?

Managed coverage starts at $25 per person per month (Ridge Core, no minimum), which watches every computer and every email login.

Ridge Plus adds staff training, email protection and a secure browser; Ridge Reserve adds the incident response plan, access reviews and patch reporting.

All three are priced per person, and log collection is Ridge Log, an add-on on any tier. The one-time Cyber Insurance Readiness Sprint is a fixed fee from $1,500 (three tiers up to $3,500).

How fast can you get us covered?

The Cyber Insurance Readiness Sprint runs seven business days from kickoff to a signed evidence pack mapped to your carrier's questionnaire. We agree the managed-monitoring deployment schedule after reviewing your environment.
