How secure are Scotland's domains?
Most businesses in Scotland use a .scot domain. Across 26,495 of them, here's how their security stacks up — aggregate patterns only, never an individual business. As of 2026-08-16.
In the .scot zone — covering Scotland — 63.5% of 11,560 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.4% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.
We use .scot as a stand-in for Scotland, based on the domain's ending rather than where a company is legally registered — so Scotland businesses using a generic ending like .com aren't counted here.
Grade distribution
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 5 | 0% |
| A | 37 | 0.1% |
| B | 297 | 1.1% |
| C | 1,210 | 4.6% |
| D | 2,445 | 9.2% |
| F | 22,501 | 84.9% |
