Sub-processors & Third Parties

Full transparency into the third-party services we use to deliver Unified DNS. We carefully vet every sub-processor and hold them to the same security and privacy standards we hold ourselves.

Our Approach to Sub-processors

How we evaluate and manage third-party relationships.

Due Diligence

Every sub-processor undergoes a thorough security assessment before onboarding, including review of their certifications, security practices, and data handling procedures.

Contractual Controls

All sub-processors are bound by Data Processing Agreements that include confidentiality, data protection obligations, breach notification, and audit rights.

Ongoing Review

Sub-processors are reviewed annually for continued compliance. We monitor for changes in their security posture and take action if standards are not maintained.

Core Infrastructure & Services

Always-active sub-processors that power the Unified DNS platform.

User-Configured Integrations

Third-party services accessed only when explicitly configured by the user.

The following third-party services are only accessed when a user explicitly configures the integration within their Unified DNS account. We monitor these vendor APIs for changes.

Note: This list represents our current sub-processors as of the date shown at the bottom of this page. We will update this list whenever a sub-processor is added, removed, or materially changes its role. Customers who wish to receive notifications of sub-processor changes can contact us at support@udns.app.

Sub-processor Change Notifications

How we keep you informed about changes to our sub-processor list.

Notification Process

  • 1
    We provide at least 30 days' advance notice before engaging a new sub-processor
  • 2
    Notification is sent via email to designated MSP contacts and published on this page
  • 3
    MSPs may raise objections within the notice period as outlined in their DPA
  • 4
    We work to address concerns and, where possible, provide alternative processing options

Sub-processor Security Requirements

All sub-processors must meet the following minimum requirements:

  • SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 certification
  • Encryption of data at rest and in transit
  • Incident response and breach notification capabilities
  • Signed Data Processing Agreement with audit rights
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability management
