Is .es safe? The state of .es domain security — Spain
.es is safer than the internet average. Across 1,562,988 graded .es domains, 61.9% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 2% earn a B or better. Most .es 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 .es zone — covering Spain — 55.6% of 1,149,346 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 14.8% — above the 11.8% census-wide rate.
Note: .es is used as a proxy for Spain based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .es domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .es domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 453 | 0% |
| A | 1,386 | 0.1% |
| B | 30,064 | 1.9% |
| C | 167,325 | 10.7% |
| D | 395,963 | 25.3% |
| F | 967,797 | 61.9% |
Does .es 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 .es doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .es domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .es safe?
On average, .es is safer than the internet average: 61.9% of its 1,562,988 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 .es domains?
38.1% of .es domains score above an F and 2% 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 .es 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 .es too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .es 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.
