NEW: Important Security Update for Portal and Direct Integration Users of the UCDP Effective Sunday, January 12, 2020, we are making a change to the Uniform Collateral Data Portal® (UCDP®) website security settings to align with industry-wide best practices and our ongoing commitment to maintain the strongest possible security infrastructure. This change will affect your ability to access the UCDP if you are not using supported browser settings. What is changing? The TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 security protocols will be disabled as of January 12, 2020, after which time users must use a browser with TLS 1.2 encryption enabled. What do I need to do? All recent web browsers support TLS 1.2 by default. We strongly recommend you use the latest supported version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE 11) as the preferred/supported browser for UCDP. Other browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari may also work but are not fully supported. I also use a platform that has a Direct Integration with the UCDP; is that affected? TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will also be disabled for Direct Integrations to the UCDP on January 12, 2020. Instructions have been sent to all UCDP Direct Integration vendors to test and ensure they are connecting with TLS 1.2 and will not be impacted by this change. Please contact your platform vendor if you have additional questions. This communication relates to the Uniform Mortgage Data Program®, an effort undertaken jointly by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at the direction of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
