As a global leader in penetration testing and network security, NCC Group is uniquely positioned to not only escrow registry data per ICANN’s requirements for new TLD applicants, but to provide a comprehensive risk management solution for all registry operators.
History Since 1998, The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has served to help control and manage the Internet’s naming system. Recently, however, ICANN has been thrust into the public spotlight with its work concerning the introduction of new generic top-level domains (TLDs). As part of the TLD application process, applicants must meet many different criteria, one of which is a requirement to establish daily transfers of WHOIS data to a reputable escrow agent.
NCC Group has been active in the domain name community since 2008 when it assisted ICANN with the development of the gTLD Registry Failover Plan. Since then, NCC Group has been the preferred escrow provider for a number of registries and registrars worldwide, and is proud to be the only escrow provider with major operations in both Europe and North America. NCC Group’s offering is compliant with both US and EU law, and is designed to meet the needs of all registry operators worldwide.
Technical Capabilities - NCC Group's Registry Data Escrow program is based on our Escrow Live service. - NCC Group utilizes a fully redundant infrastructure with four globally dispersed Tier III+ data centers, ensuring business continuity and no single point of failure. - WHOIS data is deposited daily via an encrypted, secure FTP transmission.
