How secure are Netherlands's domains?
Most businesses in Netherlands use a .nl domain. Across 4,893,709 of them, here's how their security stacks up — aggregate patterns only, never an individual business. As of 2026-08-16.
In the .nl zone — covering Netherlands — 36.9% of 3,083,223 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 29.6% — above the 11.8% census-wide rate.
We use .nl as a stand-in for Netherlands, based on the domain's ending rather than where a company is legally registered — so Netherlands businesses using a generic ending like .com aren't counted here.
