Email security in Netherlands
How Netherlands protects its email, measured from public DNS across 3,772,514 domains, and which sectors move the national picture.
Average score across 3,772,514 domains
Active. 2,607,688 with live mail routing.
Inactive. 1,164,826 with no mail routing found.
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. 148,552 of them already declare that they carry no mail. How we measure this
How these domains spread across score bands
Where Netherlands stands
Across the 3,772,514 domains we benchmark in Netherlands, the average email-security score is 27 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 33, while those with no mail routing score 14. Both matter, because a domain does not need working email to be forged in your name.
