Now What? By: ECG Team 3 min read Aug 30, 2023 The FCC’s [STIR/SHAKEN deadline of June 30th, 2023](https://www.ecg.co/blog/177-what-you-need-to-know-before-the-fcc-stir-shaken-deadline-of-jun-30-2023), has come and gone – and you missed it. While it’s not an ideal scenario, there are still steps you can take to meet compliance requirements and [protect your voice network from robocalls](https://www.ecg.co/blog/159-navigating-robocall-mitigation-with-stir-shaken).  If you missed the deadline to comply, you’re likely dealing with headaches like the following: - Emails from customers saying they can no longer do business with you - Complaints that legitimate calls made over your network appear as spam - Difficulties with calls from your network being blocked automatically These issues are a result of failing to follow the [FCC’s guidelines to fight robocalling](https://www.ecg.co/blog/141-shaken-stir-quick-insights-from-an-fcc-proposal-to-fight-robocalling). So what will happen to your company now? Your network has likely already been blocked due to FCC STIR/SHAKEN (or FCC SHAKEN/STIR) non-compliance. Next, the FCC will refer your business to the Department of Justice, where they’ll assess potential fines. It’s a long and tedious process – but in the meantime, you’ll be unable to provide services to your customers. ## Penalties for Failing to Comply With FCC STIR/SHAKEN As with many privacy rules, the [penalties for non-compliance](https://www.ecg.co/blog/157-executive-summary-compliance-management-and-voice-networking) with FCC STIR/SHAKEN guidelines can be severe. If you haven't put the right protective measures in place, downstream providers will be required to block your services – resulting in lost customers and revenue. And if that’s not enough to convince you of STIR/SHAKEN’s importance, providers can face penalty fees ranging from $23,727 to $177,951 for failing to comply with mandatory blocking requirements.1   ![](https://www.ecg.co/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/content_ecg_blog_missedstirshakendeadline_inline-1.jpg)   ## What Are the Requirements to Comply With FCC STIR/SHAKEN? The goal of [STIR/SHAKEN is](https://www.ecg.co/blog/134-what-you-need-to-know-about-stir-shaken-in-seven-key-facts) to counter spoofed and illegal robocalls by validating phone calls through digital certificates. While there are many other protections voice providers have to keep in mind when it comes to [mitigating robocalls](https://www.ecg.co/blog/161-it-s-not-just-stir-shaken-here-s-what-else-you-need-to-know-about-robocall-mitigation), the basics of complying with STIR/SHAKEN include: - Developing a robocall mitigation program that includes “detailed practices that can reasonably be expected to significantly reduce” illegal robocalls. - Submitting a certification to the Robocall Mitigation Database stating that they’ve implemented STIR/SHAKEN on [all or part of their networks](https://www.ecg.co/blog/155-q-a-do-i-need-shaken-stir-on-a-simple-network-understanding-intra-network-tagging). However, developing and following a plan that adheres to every STIR/SHAKEN requirement is easier said than done. If you’re struggling to create and follow STIR/SHAKEN as mandated by the FCC, [working with an expert](https://www.ecg.co/blog/163-how-ecg-can-help-implement-stir-shaken-for-ucaas-providers) is the easiest solution.  ## It’s Not Too Late – ECG Can Help ECG can give you the right expertise to keep up with privacy laws like STIR/SHAKEN. FCC also requires voice service providers to comply with the TRACED, E911, and TCPA acts, so if you need help understanding how to reduce any risk of non-compliance, ECG is here. We help service providers and large enterprises worldwide maintain and build voice, collaboration, and data networks that meet security and compliance standards.
