Borrowers have a similar view within their apps to communicate during the mortgage application process.

The report, prepared by the auditing firm The Owen Group, evaluated SimpleNexus' mobile mortgage services, mortgage software integrations, and relationship based marketing systems, focusing on organizational and operational safeguards against unauthorized access, both logical and physical. The key criteria analyzed included policies, communications, procedures and monitoring.

The review process confirmed SimpleNexus' adherence to the AICPA's Trust Principles related to security controls.

Type II reports include detailed testing of the operational effectiveness of the described systems' security controls.
