Is .ke safe? The state of .ke domain security — Kenya
.ke is safer than the internet average. Across 113,325 graded .ke domains, 53.1% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 2.5% earn a B or better. Most .ke 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 .ke zone — covering Kenya — 43.2% of 93,437 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 21.4% — above the 11.8% census-wide rate.
Note: .ke is used as a proxy for Kenya based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .ke domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .ke domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 23 | 0% |
| A | 94 | 0.1% |
| B | 2,748 | 2.4% |
| C | 15,311 | 13.5% |
| D | 34,981 | 30.9% |
| F | 60,168 | 53.1% |
Does .ke 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 .ke doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .ke domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .ke safe?
On average, .ke is safer than the internet average: 53.1% of its 113,325 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 .ke domains?
46.9% of .ke domains score above an F and 2.5% 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 .ke 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 .ke too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .ke 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.
