Investigation Brief

Inrate.com is the site of Inrate AG, a Swiss company providing ESG ratings, sustainability data, and impact analysis tools to banks, asset managers, and pension funds since 1991. It was recently selected for Norwegian Pension Fund ESG monitoring. All security signals are clean: valid TLS, Google Safe Browsing clear, VirusTotal zero malicious detections, legitimate contact details on domain, and no phishing, malware, or deceptive elements observed.

What the site appears to do

Inrate.com presents Inrate AG as a provider of ESG impact ratings, data solutions, active ownership tools, and portfolio analysis for institutional investors. Content includes methodology explanations, client segments like pension funds and banks, recent news on partnerships, and a platform called CLIF for company and sovereign sustainability data.

Decisive evidence of legitimacy

Domain registered 2003 with 8439 days age. Valid Let's Encrypt TLS. Safe Browsing and VirusTotal report no threats. Real contact email info@inrate.com, UK/Swiss/India phone numbers, and social links present. Page content matches a professional financial data service with no credential harvesting or scam indicators. IP abuse score reflects CDN usage only.

Practical user impact

Visitors can safely browse ratings, download reports, or request demos. No risk of malware, phishing, or data theft. The site supports legitimate investment research; users should still verify any paid subscriptions directly with Inrate.

Why the score is 92

The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on inrate.com and not a lookalike like i-nrate.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

08 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is inrate.com legit and safe?
Our automated security review found no threat indicators on inrate.com, so it appears legitimate. All 92 antivirus engines we queried report it clean, and the domain is 23.1 years old, registered on June 22, 2003 — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
Is inrate.com safe to use?
inrate.com has a Safety Score of 92/100 (Safe). Fresh core checks and semantic analysis found no material threat at scan time. Treat unexpected login or payment requests with normal caution.
Could a legitimate site like inrate.com still be used in a scam?
Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from inrate.com), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from inrate.com is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
Has inrate.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report inrate.com as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is inrate.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — inrate.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the inrate.com domain?
inrate.com is 23.1 years old, registered on June 22, 2003 through OVH sas. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does inrate.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — inrate.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 82 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is inrate.com hosted?
inrate.com resolves to an IP operated by WPEngine, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the inrate.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 30, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about inrate.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
