When it comes to protecting your business from cybercrime and maintaining confidentiality of client information, the National Association of REALTORS® has prepared a Data Security and Privacy Toolkit.

The 28-page document will help real estate associations, brokers, agents and multiple listing services comply with their legal responsibilities. Included in the toolkit are:

  • The Federal Trade Commission’s “5 key principles to a sound data security program,”
  • Information about state laws and pending federal regulations about data security and privacy protection,
  • Checklists of issues to consider when devising a security program, and
  • Examples of policies developed by other organizations.

Check out the resources NAR offers. In many cases, REALTORS® who plan ahead can better prepare themselves for natural disasters, internet hackers and criminals.
