If Your Database Drives Your GCI, It Deserves Better Protection
Why real estate agencies are becoming prime targets for cyber attacks – and how to stay ahead.
In real estate, your database isn’t just a tool – it’s your pipeline. It drives listings, commissions, and long-term relationships.
And that’s exactly why cybercriminals are targeting agencies.
Real estate businesses handle high-value transactions and large volumes of sensitive client data – yet many are operating with minimal cybersecurity in place. CRMs without multi-factor authentication, weak password practices, and no structured backup systems leave agencies wide open to attack.
The average cost of a cyber breach in Australia is now over $62,000. But here’s the real concern: 65% of small-to-medium businesses never recover after a major breach. The damage to operations, reputation, and trust is often irreversible.
So – what’s the fix?
You don’t need to be a tech expert. But you do need to take action.
- Enable multi-factor authentication across systems
- Lock down who has access (and remove those who shouldn’t)
- Back up your CRM and data regularly
- Train your team to spot phishing attempts
- Partner with a provider who understands real estate tech
