ALTA Best Practices 4.2 updated August 2025. Underwriters and lenders are asking questions. Do you have answers?

The blind spots examiners find most often

Wire fraud with no documented procedures

75% of title companies still rely on manual fraud prevention. If you can't show documented verification procedures, independent callback protocols, and daily reconciliation evidence, one spoofed email could cost your business everything.

ALTA compliance gaps

ALTA 4.2 tightened requirements for identity verification, independent channel verification, and vendor security documentation. Your underwriter is going to ask. Most 5-20 person shops have gaps in Pillars 2, 3, and 6 — and don't know it.

No written information security program

The FTC Safeguards Rule requires a written information security program, a designated Qualified Individual, and annual risk assessments. Most small title companies have never heard of these requirements applying to them.

Insurance coverage that doesn't cover what you think

Your E&O policy likely excludes cyber events. A separate cyber insurance policy is needed, and the application process increasingly requires documented security controls you may not have in place.

Questions Title Companies Ask Us

What is ALTA Best Practices and why does it matter?
ALTA Best Practices is a set of seven operational standards developed by the American Land Title Association. Version 4.2, updated in 2025, covers licensing, escrow trust account controls, information security, settlement procedures, policy production, professional liability insurance, and consumer complaints. Underwriters and lenders increasingly require ALTA certification. We assess your compliance across all seven pillars and document the gaps.
Do you work with our existing IT provider or MSP?
That's exactly how we're designed to work. Your MSP handles day-to-day technology — email setup, printer issues, keeping the lights on. Your underwriter or compliance counsel handles regulatory requirements and ALTA certification. We fill the gap between them: the security assessments, disaster recovery testing, and compliance documentation that neither typically covers. We coordinate with everyone and replace no one.
How is this different from CertifID or Closinglock?
CertifID and Closinglock are excellent wire verification tools that protect individual transactions. We assess your entire security program — the written information security plan, vendor oversight, incident response procedures, insurance coverage, and employee training. Think of it this way: those tools protect individual wires; we protect the business.
How long does the assessment take?
10 business days from kickoff to readout. Your team's time commitment is approximately 3-4 hours total across three calls: one kickoff meeting, access provisioning, and a readout session. We handle everything in between.
Does the FTC Safeguards Rule apply to title companies?
Title companies providing settlement and escrow services are covered by the FTC Safeguards Rule as 'financial institutions' under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. For the title insurance side, state regulators enforce equivalent requirements. Either way, a documented information security program is not optional — it's a regulatory requirement.
What does it cost?
Depends on firm size and complexity. For most 5-25 person title companies, the assessment runs $6,750-$10,125, which includes a full ALTA pillar-by-pillar gap analysis. Book an intro call and we'll give you a straight number based on your situation. No runaround, no 'it depends on synergies.'
