How secure are New Zealand's domains?
Most businesses in New Zealand use a .nz domain. Across 455,868 of them, here's how their security stacks up — aggregate patterns only, never an individual business. As of 2026-07-29.
In the .nz zone — covering New Zealand — 59.1% of 455,868 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.3% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.
We use .nz as a stand-in for New Zealand, based on the domain's ending rather than where a company is legally registered — so New Zealand businesses using a generic ending like .com aren't counted here.
Grade distribution
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 258 | 0.1% |
| A | 1,301 | 0.3% |
| B | 14,267 | 3.1% |
| C | 59,164 | 13% |
| D | 111,574 | 24.5% |
| F | 269,304 | 59.1% |
