Hi there,
COO MESSAGE
Pause before you help out that prince
Pause before you help out that prince
You’ve seen them all: emails from “royals” asking for a hand to move money, links promising gift cards if you click, and bank reps calling with urgent claims of fraud. Cybercrime is on the rise, and the real estate industry is increasingly becoming a target.

This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we want you to stay one step ahead. That’s why we’ve put together Standpoint content to ensure you pinpoint risks, protect your business, and keep your clients’ data safe.   
MD of Prop Data
Let's get going,
Anne Lütge
COO of Prop Data

With our Digital Lease Application & Vetting Module, you can run TPN credit checks directly from our system: no extra steps, no wasted time, and just the insights you need to make confident leasing decisions.
