Mortgage Brokerage Owners...
Most mortgage brokers aren't compliant with cybersecurity regulations.
The mortgage industry handles some of the most sensitive personal and financial data that exists. Social Security numbers, tax returns, bank statements, employment records.
Yet cybersecurity compliance remains one of the most overlooked risks in the space.
Here's what makes it even more complex: most brokerages don't just employ W-2 staff. They run networks of 1099's operating under the brokerage's license, working from home offices, personal laptops, personal email accounts, and unsecured networks.
That's a problem.
Because when a 1099 has a breach, it doesn't just affect them...
It's your license. Your liability. Your regulatory exposure.
The FTC Safeguards Rule, state data protection laws, and lender security requirements don't distinguish between your employees and your contractors, if they're operating under your license, you own the risk.
And most brokerages have little to no visibility into how their 1099's are handling borrower data day to day or if they have the right cybersecurity coverage to protect the environment.
The gap between where most brokerages are and where they need to be is significant, and the exposure grows with every contractor you bring on.
At Goliath Cyber Security Group, we help you close this gap, fast. We build practical, right-sized cybersecurity programs that cover your whole operation, including your 1099 network, and bring you into compliance before a regulator or a breach does it for you.
Let's talk.
