.com vs .org: which is more secure?
We graded 129,444,493 .com domains and 9,543,654 .org domains across 34 checks. Data as of 2026-06-27.
.com comes out ahead. 86.9% of .com domains score grade F (effectively unprotected — can be email-spoofed), versus 88.1% of .org — a 1.2-point gap. But both leave the clear majority exposed.
| TLD | Domains graded | Grade F (exposed) | Grade A–B (secure) |
|---|---|---|---|
| .com | 129,444,493 | 86.9% | 0.5% |
| .org | 9,543,654 | 88.1% | 0.4% |
Here's the thing: your domain's security depends on how it is configured, not which ending you picked — even the stronger TLD here leaves most of its domains at grade F. The good news is that almost every problem is free and quick to fix.
