Is .guru safe? The state of .guru domain security

.guru is riskier than the internet average. Across 57,379 graded .guru domains, 85.7% score an F — worse than the 78.3% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 3.5% earn a B or better. Most .guru domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.

Of 48,866 graded .guru domains, 84.4% earn an F — well above the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.1% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.

Does .guru 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 .guru doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .guru domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions

Is .guru safe?

On average, .guru is riskier than the internet average: 85.7% of its 57,379 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 .guru domains?

14.3% of .guru domains score above an F and 3.5% 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 .guru 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 .guru too.

What does "grade F" mean for a .guru 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.
