Is .pa safe? The state of .pa domain security — Panama
.pa is safer than the internet average. Across 7,338 graded .pa domains, 56.6% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 5.9% earn a B or better. Most .pa 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 .pa zone — covering Panama — 51.3% of 5,967 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 18.9% — above the 11.8% census-wide rate.
Note: .pa is used as a proxy for Panama based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .pa domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .pa domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 9 | 0.1% |
| A | 27 | 0.4% |
| B | 396 | 5.4% |
| C | 1,010 | 13.8% |

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

Frequently asked questions
Is .pa safe?
On average, .pa is safer than the internet average: 56.6% of its 7,338 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 .pa domains?
43.4% of .pa domains score above an F and 5.9% 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 .pa 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 .pa too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .pa 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.
