Security
Hosting, sign-in and recovery for village websites on GovSites.
Last updated September 2026.
Hosting
Village websites are hosted in the United States, with HTTPS certificates included. Databases are in the United States and have point-in-time recovery.
Staff sign-in
Every staff sign-in uses an authenticator app in addition to a password. Repeated failed attempts are locked out. A password alone, before the authenticator step, cannot read or change a village’s content.
Your files
Documents and images are stored for the village that uploaded them. A public page only shows that village’s published content.
Questions about security can go through contact us. For accessibility of the sites themselves, see the accessibility statement.
