Where Burkina Faso stands
Across the 1,993 domains we benchmark in Burkina Faso, the average email-security score is 18 out of 100, a little above the global average of 13. That leaves the typical domain here open to being impersonated.
The headline covers every registered domain. Domains that carry live mail score 26, while those with no mail routing score 3. Both matter, because a domain does not need working email to be forged in your name.
