Is .co safe? The state of .co domain security — Colombia
.co is safer than the internet average. Across 2,462,866 graded .co domains, 70.3% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 4.8% earn a B or better. Most .co domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
Note: .co is used as a proxy for Colombia based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .co domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .co domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 728 | 0% |
| A | 14,166 | 0.6% |
| B | 103,330 | 4.2% |
| C | 255,411 | 10.4% |

| F | 1,731,200 | 70.3% |
Does .co make a domain secure?
No — and that's the most important thing to know. A domain's grade is decided by how it is configured (SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS), not by its ending. Choosing .co doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .co domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .co safe?
On average, .co is safer than the internet average: 70.3% of its 2,462,866 graded domains score an F as of 2026-07-29, against a 73.8% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .co domains?
29.7% of .co domains score above an F and 4.8% earn a B or better. The rest fail the basic externally observable protections, most importantly enforced SPF and DMARC, so they can be impersonated in email.
Does choosing .co make my domain secure?
No. A domain's grade comes from how it is configured — SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS — not from its ending. A well-configured domain earns an A on any ending; an unconfigured one sits at F on .co too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .co domain?
It fails the basic protections we can observe from outside — above all, it has no enforced SPF and DMARC, so its email can be forged and its customers targeted with convincing fakes.
