FCC & Compliance
The FCC registry where every voice service provider must file a certification describing its robocall mitigation program.
Every provider in the call path must be listed. Intermediate and terminating providers are prohibited from accepting traffic from any provider not in the database, which makes listing a condition of doing business.
Filings must describe specific, affirmative measures — not aspirations — and must be kept current. The FCC has removed dozens of providers for deficient or false certifications.
Removal from the RMD effectively takes you off the US network: downstream carriers must stop accepting your traffic, and certificate eligibility lapses.
The FCC authorization a carrier needs to provide interstate or international telecommunications service — and which the FCC can revoke.
The central authority that decides which providers are eligible to obtain STIR/SHAKEN signing certificates and issues the tokens needed to request them.
An automatically dialed call that delivers a pre-recorded or artificial voice message, legal only with the right consent or exemption.
Regulatory protection from liability for providers that block or mitigate calls in good faith using reasonable analytics and documented processes.
SipShield scores live SIP traffic with patented AI so the controls behind this term run automatically — and leave the audit trail regulators expect.
