Guest Wi-Fi Setup in Durham
Providing visitor internet access at Durham sites without taking on obligations nobody considered. A portal collecting names and email addresses is processing personal data, and a business offering open access has decisions to make about filtering, logging and how long any of it is kept.
Why this comes up
The problem
Guest access shares the office network, the portal has collected two years of visitor details, and nobody knows why.
What you get
What we deliver
- Guest traffic separated from everything else, verified rather than assumed
- The portal designed to collect only what you have a reason to collect
- Retention set for whatever is captured, with deletion actually happening
- Acceptable use terms presented clearly before access is granted
- Content filtering decided deliberately, particularly where children are present
- Bandwidth limits applied so visitors cannot affect business systems

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Guest Wi-Fi Setup in Durham — common questions
- Why collect anything at all?
- Frequently there is no good reason, which is the point worth making. Marketing lists gathered from a wifi portal are of poor quality and carry consent obligations, so unless the data serves a stated purpose the better design collects nothing beyond acceptance of the terms.
- Do we need to log usage?
- It depends on your sector and your risk position rather than on a universal rule. Where logs are kept there should be a defined retention period and a reason for it — indefinite retention of visitor browsing is difficult to justify if anybody asks.
- Should the connection be filtered?
- In venues used by children or families, almost certainly, and the expectation is well established in hospitality and public settings. Elsewhere it is a judgement about what you are comfortable being accessed on a connection carrying your name.
- How separate does guest access need to be?
- Genuinely separate, not a different password on the same network. Guest devices should be unable to reach business systems or each other, and this needs testing rather than assuming — the configuration frequently looks correct while permitting more than intended.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
