28 Pillar 2 Escrow Trust Accounts Best Practice: Adopt and maintain appropriate written procedures and controls for escrow trust accounts allowing for electronic verification of reconciliation. Purpose: Appropriate and effective escrow controls and staff training help title and settlement companies meet client and legal requirements for the safeguarding of client funds. These procedures help ensure accuracy and minimize the exposure to loss of client funds. Settlement companies may engage outside contractors to conduct segregation of trust accounting duties.

34 Pillar 3 Security of Nonpublic Personal Information Best Practice: Adopt and maintain a written privacy and information security program to protect nonpublic personal information as required by local, state and federal law. Purpose: Federal and state laws (including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) require title companies to develop a written information security program that describes the procedures they employ to protect nonpublic personal information. The program must be appropriate to the company s size and complexity, the nature and scope of the company s activities, and the sensitivity of the customer information the company handles. A company evaluates and adjusts its program in light of relevant circumstances, including changes in the company s business or operations, or the results of security testing and monitoring. Source: American Land Title Association Title Insurance and Settlement Company Best Practices, Version 2.0, July 19, 2013
35 Pillar 3 Physical & Network Security Protect Money and Confidential Information Usually the most time consuming section If you have not already started, do no wait any longer! Adopt and maintain a WRITTEN privacy and information security program to protect non-public personal information as required by local, state, and federal law This section includes both network and physical security Written policies to consider: Privacy Policy Disaster Recovery Policy Clean Desk/Clear Screen Policy
36 Ways to Simplify Pillar 3 Compliance Use Resources provided by the ALTA Use Resources provided by the Underwriter This section is one where you may consider hiring outside, third party providers for their expertise in: Policies and Procedure Creation or Improvement Information Technology and Security Privacy and Protection of the consumer s Personal, Private Information Training employees on Privacy and Security Issues
37 Ways to Simplify Pillar 3 Don t reinvent the wheel Two major parts of Pillar 3: Internal processes and practices requires reviews and checkpoints. The language and processes required of Pillar 3 will be (near) standard for most institutions. Work with partners and competitors alike to share common procedures and implement regularly scheduled reviews/self-audits. Incident tracking and reporting is critical. Human resource consultants and employment attorneys are strong resources to aid in this process. Network and Data Protection Data/network protection and business continuity all play a critical role. For most title companies, this is the most challenging area. The technologies and methodologies at play are complicated and beyond the technical resources/skills found in most SMBs.
38 Suggestions for Meeting the Technical Requirements of Pillar 3 1. Start with a Network Assessment to understand the assets in your network (servers, PCs, routers, etc.). A network services firm can perform this task for you often in half a day and often for FREE. The network audit will identify the low hanging fruit for you. 2. Evaluate Managed Services and Business Continuity strategies from network service professionals, including (Nuvotera, Spam Soap, etc.), web (OpenDNS, Websense, etc.), anti-virus and malware protection, as well as hosting options and Mobile Device Management (MDM). If performed correctly, managed services can provide complete traceability of systems access and transactions. 3. Perform regularly scheduled disaster recovery/business continuity tests and document the results and the corrective actions. 4. You may consider hiring an ethical hacker to break into your network and identify weaknesses/vulnerabilities and identify corrective actions. 5. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider cyber liability insurance which can protect you from the penalties that will result from a breach.
39 Pillar 4 Settlement Process Best Practice: Adopt standard real estate settlement procedures and policies that help ensure compliance with federal and state consumer financial laws as applicable to the settlement process. Purpose: Adopting appropriate policies and conducting ongoing employee training helps ensure the company can meet state, federal and contractual obligations governing the settlement. Source: American Land Title Association Title Insurance and Settlement Company Best Practices, Version 2.0, July 19, 2013
40 Pillar 4 Settlement Procedures and Policies Recording Procedures and Pricing Procedures Incorporate Policies and Procedures into Manual and Training Department Specific Position Specific Training Written Policies and Documented Confirmation it was given and understood.

Procedure for handling rejected documents. Tools Simplifile, e-recording CSS Title software County websites

Don t rely on the system Double checking fee calculations Routine review When to double check new fees, commercial endorsements, infrequent property uses Overpayment/Refund Process how detect, who report to, etc. Days Tools Underwriter Links for pricing Title software
43 Pillar 5 Policy Production and Remittance Best Practice: Adopt and maintain written procedures related to title policy production, delivery, reporting and premium remittance. Purpose: Adopting appropriate procedures for the production, delivery and remittance of title insurance policies helps ensure title companies can meet their legal and contractual obligations.

46 Pillar 6 Insurance Best Practice: Maintain appropriate professional liability insurance and fidelity coverage. Purpose: Appropriate levels of professional liability insurance or errors and omissions insurance help ensure title agencies and settlement companies maintain the financial capacity to stand behind their professional services. In addition, state law and title insurance underwriting agreements may require a company to maintain professional liability insurance or errors and omissions insurance, fidelity coverage or surety bonds.

47 Pillar 6 Insurance Coverages Document all coverages Compliance Management Report Insurance Requirements State Banking & Insurance Website Underwriter Evaluation of Policies Pick the right broker
48 Update From The Expert Check the definition of professional services In all inclusive states, make sure you have coverage for escrow, search/abstracting if you are doing these things. Not always necessarily included in the definition of professional services as a title agent. If a service is not included in the definition of professional services, make sure there are no exclusions pertaining to those services Watch out for exclusions pertaining to the handling and disbursement of funds. Evaluate your limits. Make sure they are comparable to the type of transactions you are doing Residential vs. Commercial Property values. State mandated deductibles.
49 Update From The Expert Independent contractors How does your policy respond? Are YOU covered for YOUR vicarious liability? Does your policy require you to warrant their coverage? Does it limit your coverage for your liability over the acts of independent contractors? Check the exclusions to make sure something you are doing is not specifically excluded such as oil/gas/mineral/subsurface rights.
50 Update From The Expert Surety Bond Coverage State mandated so just make sure you comply with state regulations. Fidelity Coverage PA for example only requires you to carry a limit of $150,000. Typically employee theft situations are above and beyond this amount of money. Higher limit policies are available and may be necessary if you have significantly more money in your escrow or operating accounts.
51 Update From The Expert Unauthorized Transfer of Funds Coverage Great coverage to have as a title agent with all the money being wired in and out regularly. Included in most high limit fidelity polices You can sometimes add it on to your fidelity coverage or it is also offered in cyber liability policies. You want to have it somewhere!
52 Pillar 7 Consumer Complaints Best Practice: Adopt and maintain written procedures for resolving consumer complaints Purpose: A process for receiving and addressing consumer complaints helps ensure reported instances of poor service or non-compliance do not go undiscovered Source: American Land Title Association Title Insurance and Settlement Company Best Practices, Version 2.0, July 19, 2013
53 Pillar 7 - What do you need? Written Policy Standard Consumer Complaint Form Standard Procedure for Handling Complaints Consumer Complaint Log Complaint Analysis Training for employees

59 What are Policies? The terms policy and procedure are often used interchangeably, but these two terms are different. A policy states the goals and objectives of the agency and describes what the agency wants to achieve with respect to a particular subject. Procedures set forth the specific steps that need to be taken to meet the title agency s objectives.
60 Step 1: Determine the policies the agency needs. Policies should be created to cover every area of a title agency s operations including: Human Resources: recruiting, hiring, termination, and training Security: security awareness, privacy, and document retention and destruction Operations: Title examinations and review, accounting/escrow accounts, real estate transaction processes
61 What are some of the Policies that should be part of your Best Practices? Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Policy Privacy Policy Clear Desk and Clean Screen Policy
62 Disaster Recovery Policy Address the timely resumption from and prevention of interruptions to business activities and processes caused by information-system failures Address protection and recovery of physical facilities and equipment from loss, damage, theft, or compromise Business continuity plans for all critical business processes Include detailed, up-to-date contact information for key individuals required for executing the plan
63 Privacy Policy Explain: How your company collects information about the consumer Where that information is shared How that information is used How that information is protected Identify the consumer s right to opt out of the information being shared with unaffiliated parties pursuant to the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Consider Physical Security and Network Security of Personal, Private Information held by your company Train your employees on Privacy Matters
64 Clean Desk and Clear Screen Policy A written policy to ensure that files, documents and computer files containing Personal, Private Information are stored in a secure manner Should address when an employee leaves their workstation for the day or an extended period of time Both paper and electronic files must be addressed Address procedures to insure all documents, files, portable devices and electronic media are secure Have a written policy in place and do periodic sweeps to ensure your staff is consistently following through with protecting any personal information they handle.
65 Other Policies You Should Have A written information security policy; An Acceptable Use of Information Technology policy. This policy lays out the ways and circumstances under which employees may use Company owned technology (e.g., acceptable use of the Internet, , and information resources). Policies and procedures that restrict access to Personal Information to authorized employees (this is called logical access restrictions). These restrictions can include password protection and should be applied to all systems including network, database, and individual application layers.
66 Additional Policies, Continued Policy and procedure restricting the use of removable media (e.g., USB ports, CD/DVD writeable drives) Record Retention and Disposal policy. This policy should set out the minimum amount of time a file should be retained and require appropriate destruction of files. Finally, make sure your Company website includes a Privacy Statement.
