Cyber Awareness Month: How Secure Is Your Community?
Every October, we’re reminded of something that should matter all year long — cybersecurity.
At TenantEvaluation, we believe that protecting your community’s data isn’t just a feature — it’s a responsibility we all share.
When property managers and HOAs handle resident applications, background screenings, and financial documents, they’re managing something far more valuable than paperwork: people’s trust.
Why Cybersecurity Matters More Than Ever
Today’s communities manage more sensitive data than ever before. IDs, proof of income, and even personal addresses move through multiple systems every day.
The problem? Many management companies still rely on emails or outdated tools that were never built to handle that level of sensitivity.
That’s where risk begins.
Recent reports show that over 80% of organizations have experienced more than one data breach, and nearly half of them started through third-party systems — the same kind of tools that property managers use every day to process applications.
For HOAs and property management firms, a single data breach can do more than just disrupt operations. It can shake the confidence of every resident who trusted you with their information.
Simple Actions That Make a Big Difference
Keeping your community secure doesn’t have to be complicated.
Here are a few simple steps that can help reduce risks:
- Train board members and staff to recognize phishing or fraud attempts.
- Review your software vendors to make sure they meet strict data protection standards.
- Limit access to sensitive files — only authorized users should see private data.
- Use platforms that encrypt information from start to finish.
- Implement automated ID verification to prevent manual errors and identity fraud.
Small changes like these can make a huge impact on keeping your residents and communities safe.
