CuVanta Title Services’ Best Practices to Ensure Your Information is Secure
At CuVanta Title Services, we go above and beyond to protect your personal and financial information. Our cybersecurity practices include:
- Secure website – We want to protect your information from the moment you first contact us.
- Secure email – Much of today’s wire fraud starts in email. This is why any emails we send that contain private information are sent encrypted.
- Vulnerability scan – We hired a third-party compliance firm to conduct an assessment. They tested our systems to make sure hackers don’t have easy access.
- Firewall – Call us overprotective, but our offices have a firewall as added security for all Internet traffic going in and coming out.
- Frequent backups – We frequently back up your data to prevent data loss in the event of a disaster.
- Cybersecurity insurance – We also carry cyber insurance to protect any affected parties if there ever was a data breach.
- Clean-desk policy – It is company policy to lock up all files and paperwork each night.

How to Stay Safe

If you suspect fraud, contact your credit union, bank, mortgage company, and title company right away – and consider notifying the FBI.
