An independent cybersecurity review across major Michigan title companies reveals a wide range of results. Many organizations handle sensitive communications daily, yet show significant gaps in email authentication and transport security.

Using data from audit.emailmenow.com, we evaluated each domain across email, website, and network security — including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS/TLS, and security headers.

What the Results Reveal

  • Scores span 84% down to 30% — 2 of 5 reach a Good (70%+) posture.
  • 1 of 5 scored below 60%, leaving stakeholders exposed to phishing and impersonation.
  • Weak authentication undermines compliance expectations and increases BEC and wire-fraud risk.

Why This Matters in Michigan

Michigan title companies handle wire instructions and closing communications — prime targets for business email compromise under ALTA best practices and state insurance oversight.
