In 2001, Iron Mountain was the first company ever selected to protect domain name registry data via escrow agreements. Today, our global leadership in information protection, management and storage translates into the most comprehensive and trusted Domain Name Registry Data Escrow Services available.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) helps to maintain and control the Internet’s naming system, and is dedicated to keeping the Internet secure and operable in the event of a physical or business failure.

Registry operators worldwide are recognizing the need for full compliance with data escrow requirements and verification testing. Iron Mountain’s Registry Data Escrow Services are designed to address these challenges by enabling registry operators to:

• Comply with Registry Data Escrow Agreement provisions, including periodic transfer of generic top-level domain (gTLD) data to a reputable escrow agent
• Safeguard valuable registry data in secure, access-controlled escrow accounts
• Leverage the same technologies, security measures and expertise that led ICANN to select Iron Mountain as its preferred provider for registrars through our Registrar Data Escrow Program  
• Deposit registry data via encrypted, secure FTP (SFTP) transmission directly to Iron Mountain
• Verify and validate that all deposited data is complete, accurate and delivered in the intended format
• Protect registry data through use of RAID storage and physical backup tapes stored in ultra-secure, environmentally safe facilities
