Governmental Domains and DMARC
Countries, communities, states, and local governments worldwide use email to communicate with citizens, workers, and each other.
Meanwhile, 93% of successful cyberattacks worldwide start from email security issues. Cybercriminals target governmental and federal domains using malicious email impersonation, ransomware, malware, and phishing attacks for espionage, financial gain, and to steal credentials and classified information. The best way to secure a domain against phishing attacks is to implement a strict DMARC policy.
Leading countries have made DMARC implementation mandatory or recommended for national government organizations, including:
United States of America
In 2017, the Department of Homeland Security mandated that all federal government domains establish a strict DMARC reject policy within a year.
Australia
Malicious Email Mitigation Strategies include guidelines recommending all organizations (not just governmental ones) establish a DMARC policy set to “p=reject.”
The United Kingdom
The Government Digital Service updated security guidelines in 2016 to ensure all UK government domains publish a DMARC policy and set it to the strict reject policy.
Saudi Arabia
Starting in December 2019, it is required for national groups to put into action all essential steps for analyzing and filtering email messages using advanced and up-to-date email protection techniques. Recommended approaches include DKIM, SPF, and DMARC.
The Netherlands
The Standardization Forum mandated that Dutch government organizations implement a DMARC reject policy by the end of 2019.
Germany
Starting from June 2018, suggested actions for internet service providers to tackle the issues of malware and spam, including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
Canada
The Government of Canada’s Chief Information Officer’s direction made it mandatory using SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to verify the identity of all the email senders

Effective in November 2022, public sector must implement TLS, SPF, DKIM, and enforce DMARC on all inbound emails.
Denmark

DMARC Statistics on Governmental Organizations

How DMARC Helps
Prevent Email Spoofing
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is an email authentication protocol designed to give emaildomain owners the ability to protect their domain from unauthorized use, commonly known as email spoofing.
DMARC policy protects domain owners from the negative consequences of fraud. In today's fast-paced, highly-digitized world, cybercriminals and scammers quickly find and exploit an organization's cyber securityweaknesses.
So, governmental organizations need a DMARC policy to protect their employees and citizens from financial and data loss.
