The Integated Technology Solution to Meet ALTA Best Practices

Stop Bolting On Tools and Start Integrating

The new ALTA Identity Verification Guidance for 2025 emphasizes a necessary "layered approach" to security. As we've discussed with many of our customers, for most title companies, this layered approach means juggling multiple security vendors and fragmented data points, which creates complexity and often introduces new compliance risks.

The solution is unification.

Stop "bolting on" separate tools and unify your risk assessment and identity verification directly into your closing process.
