About
Dennis - Cybersecurity Sherpa for Florida Mortgage Professionals
Most mortgage brokers think cybersecurity is an IT problem. It's not. It's a LICENSE PROTECTION problem.
Dennis owns MOSTRO which helps Florida mortgage brokers avoid the three worst-case scenarios:
- Data breach leading to license suspension
- GLBA violations resulting in regulatory fines
- Negligence lawsuits from compromised client data
As the official cybersecurity partner for Suncoast Real Estate Association, MOSTRO has assessed hundreds of Real Estate professionals and found that most are unknowingly operating at Medium-High risk for compliance violations.
His solution: "Protected Residency"—a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that gives mortgage brokers the evidence they need to prove compliance and sleep well at night knowing they invested in the best strategies, not just the cheapest solutions.
Dennis is bilingual (English/Spanish), based in Tampa, FL, and operates with a core philosophy: "Pressure doesn't break me, pressure reveals me."
Specialties: GLBA Compliance | Penetration Testing | Cybersecurity Risk Assessment | Email Security | SOC/NOC Services | Regulatory Compliance for Mortgage Professionals
Mostro Cybersecurity & Compliance LLC is the official cybersecurity partner for the Suncoast Real Estate Association, specializing in GLBA compliance protection for Florida's mortgage and real estate professionals.
Dennis, a former mortgage broker with a BBA in Finance from Florida Atlantic University, Mostro was built by someone who understands the compliance pressures and regulatory scrutiny mortgage professionals face—because he lived it.
