Is .no safe? The state of .no domain security — Norway
.no is safer than the internet average. Across 493,716 graded .no domains, 53.7% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 11.1% earn a B or better. Most .no 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: .no is used as a proxy for Norway based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .no domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .no domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 444 | 0.1% |
| A | 1,990 | 0.4% |
| B | 52,586 | 10.7% |
| C | 65,094 | 13.2% |
| D | 108,640 | 22% |
| F | 264,962 | 53.7% |
Does .no 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 .no doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .no domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .no safe?
On average, .no is safer than the internet average: 53.7% of its 493,716 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 .no domains?
46.3% of .no domains score above an F and 11.1% 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 .no 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 .no too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .no 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.
