The Mail Check service was launched in February 2017. In October of this year 1,685
domains were covered by this service. We do not hold the total number of domains across
government and so are unable to comment on this figure as a proportion of the whole.

The National Cyber Security Centre is operating a Domain Discovery service that will
ultimately give us a much clearer understanding of the government digital estate.
