Accreditation enables organization to
provide domain registration and management services to local and global
companies doing business in China
WILMINGTON, Del.-Wednesday 29 July 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- CSC, a
world leader in business, legal, tax, and domain security, today
announced it’s the first foreign-owned domain registrar accredited by
the Shanghai Communications Administration, through the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China (MIIT).
This accreditation attests to CSC’s ability to provide approved
services to both local and global companies doing business in China.
On
November 1, 2017, MIIT’s revised “Internet Domain Name Regulation” took
effect to better protect the rights and interests of internet users,
and to ensure a secure and stable operation of the domain name system in
China. MIIT requires that every website on a domestic server obtains an
internet content provider (ICP) license, and uses a compliant domain
name that’s registered through accredited registries and registrars
under the revised regulation.
Although
some foreign domain name registries have been licensed, to date, only
Chinese-owned registrars have obtained the new license under the
regulation. CSC’s success in becoming licensed as a foreign-owned
registrar positions the company as a go-to resource for global
organizations doing business in China.
“We
have been working closely with MIIT and the Shanghai Communications
Administration to clarify and understand the intricacies of their
policy. This accreditation is pivotal for CSC, as we can now assist
global corporations in managing their domain portfolio in this critical
market in-house,” said Alban Kwan, CSC East Asia regional director.
“This gives us more control in helping our clients with compliance
issues in China and showcases our strong understanding of Chinese policy
and our commitment to the market.”
CSC is a globally accredited registrar, and this MIIT accreditation ensures that CSC is able to provide comprehensive domain name registrations across
registries in compliance with local requirements. Companies managing
their domain name portfolios through CSC have complete oversight of
their assets, and their domains are secure.
