Pass Partly Fail Couldn't check

Last checked

Oct 13, 2026, 3:03 PM CT

Every county is checked again every day for the security settings anyone can see from the internet.

Email

Stops people from sending fake email that looks like it came from the county.

Website

Keeps visits to the county website private and hard to tamper with.

Domain

Protects the county's internet address itself.

Fair scoring

Every check, every point and every rule is on the How we score page. When a check can't run, it doesn't count against anyone.
