Is .sn safe? The state of .sn domain security — Senegal
.sn is safer than the internet average. Across 8,407 graded .sn domains, 54.3% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 2.8% earn a B or better. Most .sn 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 .sn zone — covering Senegal — 51.7% of 6,648 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.3% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.
Note: .sn is used as a proxy for Senegal based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .sn domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .sn domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 3 | 0% |
| A | 24 | 0.3% |
| B | 205 | 2.4% |
| C | 1,217 | 14.5% |
| D | 2,390 | 28.4% |
| F | 4,568 | 54.3% |
Does .sn 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 .sn doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .sn domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .sn safe?
On average, .sn is safer than the internet average: 54.3% of its 8,407 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 .sn domains?
45.7% of .sn domains score above an F and 2.8% 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 .sn 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 .sn too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .sn 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.
