Email security in Gibraltar
How Gibraltar protects its email, measured from public DNS across 1,703 domains, and which sectors move the national picture.
Average score across 1,703 domains
Active. 1,220 with live mail routing.

An inactive domain is not receiving email, yet it stays registered and can still be forged in your name. Securing it costs nothing and closes that door. 8 of them already declare that they carry no mail. How we measure this
How these domains spread across score bands
Where Gibraltar stands
Across the 1,703 domains we benchmark in Gibraltar, the average email-security score is 24 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 31, while those with no mail routing score 5. Both matter, because a domain does not need working email to be forged in your name.
