How secure are Germany's domains?
Most businesses in Germany use a .de domain. Across 13,396,126 of them, here's how their security stacks up — aggregate patterns only, never an individual business. As of 2026-08-16.
In the .de zone — covering Germany — 61.9% of 8,755,075 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 21.9% — above the 11.8% census-wide rate.
We use .de as a stand-in for Germany, based on the domain's ending rather than where a company is legally registered — so Germany businesses using a generic ending like .com aren't counted here.
