In Response to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Emergency Directive 19-01 (available for review below) issued on January 22, 2019, DataCorps has advised its clients regarding the contents of the directive. Further, DataCorps has made recommendations to its clients based on those given by the directive on mitigating the Domain Name Service (DNS) Infrastructure Tampering risks. DataCorps, as a standard service, manages domain registration and DNS services for its clients, when permitted to. As such, DataCorps has already implemented the recommendations for client domains under its management.
As with all cyber security recommendations, not all are reasonable for every environment as some carry cost and operational burdens, however, each should be evaluated and thoughtfully considered.
DataCorps already implements many of the recommendations outlined in this document and is prepared to discuss them and their impact with each client, individually and confidentially.
Due to the sensitive nature of the methods and processes used to secure DataCorps' systems and connectivity between its services and clients, they will not be disclosed except as necessary upon a client's request, and in any event, will be disclosed only privately after receipt of reasonable assurances of confidentiality from our client.
