Details

This guidance informs public-sector and commercial organisations of the need to stop using gsi-family domain names and provides help for migrating their service to a public cloud or other internet service.

Organisations must prioritise migrating their email service away from the gsi-family domain and complete their migration of all services before March 2019.

This policy covers all services that use a gsi-family domain name (gsi.gov.uk, gse.gov.uk, gcsx.gov.uk or gsx.gov.uk).
