.bank & .insurance: New Domain Name Suspension Policy
fTLD is going to introduce the new Domain Name Compliance Escalation and Suspension Policy in the coming months, as the persistent non-compliance by some registrants threatens the integrity of the .bank & .insurance TLDs. The registry is contacting registrants to inform them of this new policy.
In addition, the registry will continue to provide monthly compliance notices to registrants. As a reminder, details about implementing the Security Requirements are available here.
The most common failures the registry sees are:
- Email authentication, typically that domains do not have DMARC in place.
- Certificate failures because domains are using a certificate associated with another domain (usually a .com).
- TLS encryption using weak protocols and/or weak ciphers.
- Domain redirection occurring from an HTTP connection; all connections must be via HTTPS.
- Port checks reflecting the use of weak ciphers.
