A Trusted Notifier is a designated entity for alerting registries about illegal activity, content, and/or DNS abuse associated with a domain name. Trusted Notifiers enter into written agreements with registries or registrars, which outline the roles and responsibilities for handling reports of abuse. All action is still determined by the Registrar or Registry.[1] Trusted notifiers tend to have a higher level of confidence in reporting malicious activity than outside referrals. However, not all notifiers are “Trusted Notifiers.” What makes a notifier trusted? The organization:[2]

  • has strong, demonstrated subject matter expertise
  • shows consistent adherence to substantive, procedural due diligence
  • rigorously reports
  • is committed to a low false positive rate and the accuracy of its notices
