Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of protection beyond a password, helping reduce the risk of unauthorized access when credentials are compromised.
Security-First Escrow Software
Security designed for modern escrow
TESS is security-first, compliance-focused escrow software designed to reduce unnecessary exposure of sensitive transaction information. Two-factor authentication and secure client document access help keep escrow documents inside an authenticated environment, while organized escrow workflows support consistent recordkeeping and operating procedures.

Our Security Principle
Reduce unnecessary exposure.
Sensitive escrow information should not travel farther than it needs to. TESS is designed around authenticated access and fewer sensitive email attachments, helping escrow teams reduce common points of exposure without making the workflow harder for clients or staff.
Security that fits the escrow workflow
Security controls work best when people can actually use them. TESS combines practical protections with an escrow-specific workflow your team can understand.
Secure Client Document Access
Instead of sending sensitive escrow documents as ordinary email attachments, TESS is designed so clients can securely access and view documents through an authenticated environment.
Less Sensitive Information in Email
Reducing attachments means fewer copies of sensitive documents sitting in inboxes, forwarded messages, downloads, and email threads that may be targeted by phishing attempts.
Move the document access — not the document
Email is convenient, but sensitive attachments can be copied, forwarded, downloaded, or presented inside a convincing phishing thread. TESS takes a different approach for client documents.
Clients receive access to view documents in the TESS environment rather than having sensitive escrow documents delivered as ordinary attachments. The goal is simple: keep sensitive information closer to the controlled workflow.
1
Document stays with the escrow fileSensitive transaction documents remain associated with the TESS workflow.
2
Client uses secure accessThe client is directed to authenticated access rather than receiving the document as a standard email attachment.
3
Exposure is reducedFewer emailed copies means fewer places where sensitive information can be forwarded, stored, or intercepted.
Security and compliance work together
TESS is designed for California escrow workflows where protecting sensitive information, maintaining organized records, and following company procedures all matter. Technology can support those responsibilities, but it does not replace your organization’s own policies, verification procedures, training, or regulatory obligations.

Escrow software security FAQ
Direct answers to common questions about TESS security and secure document access.
Does TESS use two-factor authentication?
Yes. TESS uses two-factor authentication to add an additional layer of protection beyond a password.
Does TESS email escrow documents to clients?
TESS is designed so clients can securely access and view documents rather than relying on sensitive documents sent as ordinary email attachments.
How does secure document access help reduce phishing and email risk?
Keeping sensitive documents inside an authenticated access environment reduces the number of copies sent through email inboxes, forwarded messages, and attachments. It does not eliminate phishing risk, but it reduces unnecessary exposure of the documents themselves.
Does TESS guarantee prevention of fraud or phishing?
No. No software can eliminate fraud or phishing risk. TESS is designed to reduce unnecessary exposure and add security controls around access to sensitive escrow information.
Where can I learn more about TESS data handling and privacy?
