-- PowerDMARC, a leading provider of email authentication and domain security solutions, has published its highly anticipated 2025 Norway DMARC & MTA-STS Adoption Report. The report analyzes 641 domains across multiple sectors in Norway, offering a comprehensive look into the country’s email security landscape and adoption of critical authentication protocols.
With phishing and social engineering fraud rising sharply in Norway, the report highlights the growing importance of deploying email authentication protocols like DMARC, SPF, MTA-STS, and DNSSEC to safeguard organizations and individuals against identity theft and financial fraud.
Key Highlights from the Report
- Sector-Wise Analysis: The report provides an in-depth breakdown of email authentication adoption across industries, including Telecommunications, Education, Government, Financial, Healthcare, and Transport.
- SPF Adoption: 85.2% of Norwegian domains maintain correct SPF records, with Healthcare leading at 92.1%.
- DMARC Adoption: While 29.0% of domains have deployed a DMARC “Reject” policy, 16.9% still lack DMARC records, leaving them exposed to spoofing threats.
- MTA-STS Adoption: Alarmingly low, with only 2.8% of domains enforcing MTA-STS policies, exposing email channels to man-in-the-middle attacks.
- DNSSEC Adoption: The overall adoption rate stands at 45.6%, with the Transport sector leading at 53.0%.
- Critical Errors Identified: Misconfigured SPF records, domains stuck at DMARC “none,” multiple records, syntax errors, and unprotected subdomains continue to weaken defenses.
Recommendations for Norwegian Organizations
The report emphasizes that while Norway shows encouraging SPF and DMARC adoption rates, gaps remain in enforcement and advanced protections. PowerDMARC recommends:
- Transitioning from DMARC “none” to enforcement policies (quarantine/reject).
- Closing loopholes by aligning DMARC policies across domains.
- Optimizing SPF records to stay under the 10-DNS lookup limit.
- Prioritizing adoption of MTA-STS and DNSSEC to combat man-in-the-middle and DNS spoofing attacks.
