Is .in safe? The state of .in domain security — India
.in is safer than the internet average. Across 3,263,965 graded .in domains, 75.1% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 1.1% earn a B or better. Most .in 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 .in zone — covering India — 76.8% of 2,774,611 graded domains earn an F, above the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 22.3% — above the 11.8% census-wide rate.
Note: .in is used as a proxy for India based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .in domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .in domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 267 | 0% |
| A | 1,896 | 0.1% |
| B | 34,171 | 1% |
| C | 193,503 | 5.9% |
| D | 584,391 | 17.9% |
| F | 2,449,737 | 75.1% |
Does .in 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 .in doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .in domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .in safe?
On average, .in is safer than the internet average: 75.1% of its 3,263,965 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 .in domains?
24.9% of .in domains score above an F and 1.1% 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 .in 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 .in too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .in 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.
