Is .org safe? The state of .org domain security

.org is riskier than the internet average. Across 10,809,611 graded .org domains, 77.7% score an F — worse than the 73.8% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 1.9% earn a B or better. Most .org domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-07-29.

Does .org 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 .org doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .org domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions

Is .org safe?

On average, .org is riskier than the internet average: 77.7% of its 10,809,611 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 .org domains?

22.3% of .org domains score above an F and 1.9% 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 .org 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 .org too.

What does "grade F" mean for a .org 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.
