Artemis Internet Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCC Group, a company providing Information Technology (IT) assurance through escrow, verification, security and software testing, audit, and website performance solutions. NCC Group is the escrow provider for many applicants in ICANN's new gTLD program.
The company was created by NCC Group to administer the application and operations of the .secure gTLD, which is intended to provide a highly secure and trustworthy Internet sector for users worldwide. The company developed a Domain Policy Working Group, composed of leading financial, software and social media companies, to help develop requirements and standards for websites under the proposed domain name string.
