The challenge
What makes IT different for real estate firms
The technology risks real estate teams need to manage across Greater Cincinnati.
Agents work from their phones
Mobile devices hold client data and need to be managed and secured.
Tenant data is sensitive
Applications, IDs and bank details must be handled with appropriate security.
Portfolios grow fast
New properties, offices and staff need IT that scales as the business grows.
Our approach

What's really at stakeDowntime, a data breach or a fraudulent wiring instruction can disrupt transactions and create direct financial losses. We help you identify risks and prioritize practical safeguards.

- We assess the likely business impact of downtime or a security incident
- You get a prioritized roadmap in plain language, not tech jargon

The rules your IT has to satisfy
Your organization remains responsible for compliance. CMIT Solutions of Cincinnati East can help review technical safeguards and documentation in light of client contracts, cyber insurance, payment processing, and the data your organization handles.
| Requirement | What it may involve | Potential IT support |
|---|---|---|
| PCI DSS | Security expectations for card payments, such as online rent collection. | Payment provider guidance and network separation where appropriate. |
| Cyber insurance requirements | MFA, endpoint protection, backups and training may be requested before coverage. | Review controls and document safeguards in place. |
| Applicable privacy and breach-notification laws | Requirements depend on the data handled and the laws that apply to the organization. | Technical safeguards, incident-response planning and supporting documentation. |
Which requirements apply depends on your organization, clients, and the data you handle. We support technical controls and documentation; we don't provide legal advice or guarantee compliance.
