What SEP 360 delivers.

  • Survive a license complaint

    Every agent text, call, and voicemail captured in a tamper-evident archive. When a complaint hits your state board, you have the record.

  • Block the smishing text

    Lookout-powered Mobile EDR blocks the fake-title-company smishing attempts that lead to wire-fraud incidents, before any agent clicks.

  • Onboard & offboard cleanly

    When an agent leaves, the brokerage keeps the number and the history. No data portability risk, no client relationships lost with the agent.

  • Reduce E&O exposure

    Documented communications and consent automation reduce the evidence gaps that drive E&O claims and settlement costs.

Built on Movius MultiLine (FedRAMP-certified) and Lookout (Mobile EDR trusted on 210M+ devices).
