| Critical | score 70+ | 2,135 | 1,813 |
| High | score 50–69 | 6,386 | 5,306 |
| Medium | score 30–49 | 9,100 | 7,487 |

New York vs. national average
What the New York numbers actually mean
DMARC posture. New York's share of carrier domains with no enforced DMARC sits at 80.6% — within 0.5 points of the national average. enforced p=reject DMARC adoption is roughly in line with the national pool — meaning most New York domains either have no DMARC at all or are stuck at the monitor-only p=none policy. At the protective end of the distribution, 7.9% of New York domains are at p=reject — the only DMARC policy that actually instructs receivers to drop spoofed mail.
Microsoft 365 surface. Microsoft 365 mailflow adoption tracks the national distribution closely, so the 5,484 M365 carriers in New York with DMARC disabled represent the same "paid-for-but-switched-off" pattern that drives the national headline. That share is 24.5% of all New York carriers — a one-flag-flip remediation set that any regional MSP or in-house IT lead can clear in a single quarter.
Transport encryption. MTA-STS adoption sits at 4.0%, materially below the threshold a freight payment-redirect attacker would have to clear to be inconvenienced by transport-layer policy. DNSSEC adoption in New York runs at 4.6% (vs 6.1% national) — meaningful for downstream DKIM and MTA-STS validation, but still a minority signal.
Risk-band shape. 9.6% of New York carriers sit in the critical risk band (score 70+) — above the national share of 8.4% — meaning a disproportionate cluster carries simultaneously broken SPF, missing or monitor-only DMARC, and no MTA-STS. The composite pain score blends SPF posture, DMARC enforcement, MTA-STS presence, and DNSSEC — so a carrier clusters in the critical band only when several controls fail together. Remediation that flips DMARC to enforcement plus turns on MTA-STS typically moves a carrier two bands down in one quarter.
What this means for buyers and shippers. If you are dispatching freight, settling broker payments, or receiving rate confirmations from New York-based carriers, the operational exposure is the 80.6%of domains that cannot stop a stranger from sending email in the carrier's name. Payment-redirect and load-redirect fraud rides on exactly that gap. Verifying a counterparty's DMARC posture before a first wire — a 30-second DNS lookup — is the cheapest control in the freight stack.
