Run a free security scanMethod & sources
- Passive and read-only: public DNS records plus a single homepage request per site. No logins, no test emails, no active or intrusive testing.
- Sites were drawn from OpenStreetMap within Burlington Ontario's administrative boundary, deduplicated by domain. 301 of 330 sites had a reachable website and were scored; the rest had no reachable website.
- Of those, the headline figures cover the 213 independent businesses; the 88 chains and franchises (a domain at many locations, or carrying a brand tag) were set aside so the numbers reflect locally-owned businesses.
- Figures are aggregate and anonymized: no individual business is named.
