Is .pk safe? The state of .pk domain security — Pakistan
.pk is safer than the internet average. Across 141,058 graded .pk domains, 55.7% 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 .pk 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 .pk zone — covering Pakistan — 50.8% of 113,854 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 6.1% — below the 11.8% census-wide rate.
Note: .pk is used as a proxy for Pakistan based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .pk domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .pk domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 8 | 0% |
| A | 104 | 0.1% |
| B | 1,459 | 1% |
| C | 13,489 | 9.6% |
| D | 47,439 | 33.6% |
| F | 78,559 | 55.7% |
Does .pk 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 .pk doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .pk domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .pk safe?
On average, .pk is safer than the internet average: 55.7% of its 141,058 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 .pk domains?
44.3% of .pk 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 .pk 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 .pk too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .pk 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.
