auDA set to crack down on registrar security

Australian domain authority auDA is preparing to impose minimum IT security requirements on .au registrars.

The authority today released a draft of its Information Security Standard, which it said had been prepared "following a serious security incident involving an accredited registrar in mid-2011".

...

It is intended that registrars will have to pass an independent vetting of their compliance with the standard every three years, along with more frequent "interim assessments". The frequency was being floated among industry members.

The standard would be phased in for existing registrars over the next two years.

Probably going to be costly, but some might say it's warranted after the DIT attack last year.

I wonder if this will push wholesale prices up?
