Evaluate your guest WiFi architecture against 15 industry criteria to identify security, compliance, and ROI opportunities.
The guest WiFi standard self-assessment
Evaluate your guest network against Bronze, Silver, and Gold standards across security, onboarding, compliance, QoS, and analytics.
Essential baseline controls: VLAN segmentation, client-to-client isolation, terms of service acceptance, session timeouts, and standard WPA2/WPA3 encryption.
Managed guest operations: CCPA/CPRA-compliant consent, DNS family/security content filtering, multilingual custom branding, bandwidth QoS rate limiting, and CRM webhook integration.
Enterprise-grade intelligent connectivity: Passpoint/OpenRoaming seamless onboarding, Cloud RADIUS dynamic VLAN assignment, MAC randomisation resilience, spatial presence analytics, and automated privacy lifecycle management.
