government business nsw australia

DPWSAU-AP is the autonomous system for the NSW Department of Commerce.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries government and public service infrastructure, evidenced by netnames DCS-GOVDC-NET1, DCS-GOVDC-NET2, DCS-GOVDC-NET3, DCS-GOVDC-NET5 and SERVICENSW-AU.
  • The AS announces 3840 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, isolated government network rather than a transit or large access provider.

Notable

  • Registrants include Department of Finance Services and Innovation Admin for the DCS-GOVDC blocks and Service NSW administrator for the SERVICENSW blocks, reflecting the consolidation of NSW government IT under the Department of Commerce.
  • The inventory consists of three /22 blocks and three /24 blocks, all located in Australia.

Classification and threat

Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.

Spamhaus DROP

Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.

No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

FBI IC3

No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
