Security
Secure your .fi domain lifecycle with an accredited registrar
We provide accredited .fi domain registration and management, ensuring full compliance with Traficom regulations and RFC 5730‒5733 standards.
Manage your .fi domains with regulatory certainty
This page is for IT directors, procurement officers, and platform owners who require reliable, compliant management of .fi domain names. If you are facing compliance pressure to ensure your registrar is officially accredited or if you need to move domain management from a generic reseller to a professional service, this page outlines how we operate. You can decide whether to migrate your domain lifecycle management to an accredited partner; this page ends with one next step.
Accredited registration under Traficom regulation
Generic domain resellers often lack the formal accreditation required for high-compliance environments. Project Organisation Helsinki is an authorized .fi domain registrar under Traficom Regulation 68/2016 M (the domain-name regulation, verkkotunnusmääräys), connecting to the Traficom registry via the EPP interface defined in Traficom Regulation 552551 (EPP-rajapintakuvaus).
Unlike bulk resellers, we are built on engineering rigor. Our registrar client is designed to be standards-conformant and fail-closed. Every outbound request undergoes strict schema validation against the official Traficom XSD bundles before it is sent over the wire. This prevents malformed requests from reaching the registry and ensures that every transaction—from registration to renewal—is verifiable and correct.
Full lifecycle management via EPP
We manage the complete .fi domain lifecycle using the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) as defined in RFC 5730, 5731, 5732, and 5733. We provide a single, reliable interface for:
- Registration
- Securely provisioning new .fi domains.
- Updates
- Modifying contact information or domain settings.
- Renewals
- Ensuring continuity through automated or manual renewal processes.
- Transfers
- Moving domains between registrars with strict authentication.
- Deletions
- Managing the end-of-life for domains according to registry policy.
Our implementation handles the specific nuances of the Finnish registry, including the requirement for at least two host objects per domain and the handling of Traficom-specific result codes (such as the 7xxx range) to ensure precise error reporting and state awareness.
Compliant identity and internationalization
Managing .fi domains requires strict adherence to Finnish identity standards. We handle registrant identity management in full compliance with registry requirements, supporting both:
- Natural persons
- Using the
<contact:identity>field for HETU (Finnish personal identity code). - Organisations
- Using the
<contact:registernumber>field for Y-tunnus (Business ID), including server-side mod-11 checksum validation.
Furthermore, we support internationalised .fi domain names. Our system handles IDNA2008 compliant punycode encoding, ensuring that national characters (such as å, ä, ö, and others in the .fi alphabet) are correctly processed and validated against the registry’s requirements.
Professional training for domain regulation
Because domain management is a critical component of organizational security, we do not just provide the service—we provide the expertise. We offer the verkkotunnusmääräys course as part of our Security training. This course is designed to train technical leads and compliance officers on the specific regulations and operational requirements of the Finnish domain ecosystem.
