Is .dk safe? The state of .dk domain security — Denmark
.dk is safer than the internet average. Across 1,211,402 graded .dk domains, 72.5% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 6.8% earn a B or better. Most .dk domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
In the .dk zone — covering Denmark — 56% of 660,278 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 19.6% — above the 11.8% census-wide rate.
Note: .dk is used as a proxy for Denmark based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .dk domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .dk domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 3,387 | 0.3% |
| A | 9,766 | 0.8% |
| B | 69,256 | 5.7% |
| C | 104,852 | 8.7% |
| D | 145,901 | 12% |
| F | 878,240 | 72.5% |
Does .dk 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 .dk doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .dk domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .dk safe?
On average, .dk is safer than the internet average: 72.5% of its 1,211,402 graded domains score an F as of 2026-08-16, against a 78.3% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .dk domains?
27.5% of .dk domains score above an F and 6.8% 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 .dk 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 .dk too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .dk 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.
