DMARC Risk Vector is Now Graded, Future Ratings Impact Planned - January 15, 2026

We are introducing grades (A to F) for the DMARC risk vector; a previously non-graded risk vector. This risk vector does not currently impact the overall rating, but it is planned to become ratings-impacting in a future Ratings Algorithm Update.

The DMARC risk vector assesses whether domains have a Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) policy and how effectively that policy ensures that only verified senders can use the domain for email.
