Is .sa safe? The state of .sa domain security — Saudi Arabia
.sa is safer than the internet average. Across 66,598 graded .sa domains, 53.4% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 3.4% earn a B or better. Most .sa 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 .sa zone — covering Saudi Arabia — 43.3% of 56,461 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.4% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.
Note: .sa is used as a proxy for Saudi Arabia based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .sa domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .sa domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 34 | 0.1% |
| A | 255 | 0.4% |
| B | 1,964 | 2.9% |
| C | 9,265 | 13.9% |

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

Frequently asked questions
Is .sa safe?
On average, .sa is safer than the internet average: 53.4% of its 66,598 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 .sa domains?
46.6% of .sa domains score above an F and 3.4% 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 .sa 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 .sa too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .sa 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.
