Guest Access Reality Check

Guests & Contractors Still Using Static Passwords?

You know the reality: shared PSKs written on whiteboards, captive portals break constantly, and sponsored access means your staff becomes the helpdesk. Meanwhile, forgotten guest accounts live forever.

The guest access pain points killing productivity:

CRISIS

Shared guest passwords posted in conference rooms

The same "GuestWiFi2023!" password everyone uses, never changes, and definitely shouldn't trust.

HIGH

Manual guest account creation bottlenecking IT

Every contractor needs a ticket, approval workflow, and manual credential creation.

MEDIUM

Security theater disguised as access control

Captive portals that collect contact info but provide zero actual security.

ONGOING

Zero audit trail for guest and contractor access

Who connected when, from what device, with what permissions? Nobody knows.

Automated provisioning changes the game

Which guest onboarding options does SecureW2 support, and how do I decide which is right for my environment?

Every environment has unique requirements, which is why SecureW2 offers multiple onboarding paths: instant verification through SMS/OTP, designated sponsor approvals, and pre-set credentials for events or vendors. Choosing the right fit comes down to balancing the level of guest autonomy you want to provide with the amount of administrative oversight your security policies require.

What identity verification options are available for certificate-based guest access?

For certificate-based guest access, we support guest self-registration via two identity verification options: SMS through integration with Twilio, or Google identity verification through OAuth.

How are pre-provisioned guest accounts created and distributed for large events?

Managing guest access for large events doesn't have to overwhelm IT. With SecureW2, staff can generate up to 1,000 accounts at once or upload attendee lists by .csv, then distribute time-limited credentials through email, SMS, or printed instructions. Attendees are online within minutes, with access tailored to event policies.

What happens to guest access after the guest no longer needs it?

Sponsors can manually deactivate individual guest accounts at any time through the Sponsor Portal. Additionally, guest accounts are subject to an "Account Duration Template" set by administrators, which defines a validity period after which the account expires, automatically terminating network access.

What reporting capabilities are provided for guest logins?

Administrators can view various RADIUS-related activity logs, including "Guest Activities" and "SMS Log" and "Email Log" to track how guests received their credentials and logged in. Beyond viewing these real-time logs, the system allows for the generation of predefined reports as well as the creation of custom reports, providing flexible options for analyzing guest access data.

Can guests connect multiple devices, and can device limits be enforced?

With JoinNow, administrators can create MAC-based accounts if they prefer to limit the number of devices a guest can use to access the network. Otherwise, guests can use multiple devices as needed.

What network types are supported for guest access (Wi-Fi, wired, VPN)?

Our guest solutions are primarily designed for secure Wi-Fi network access, supporting secure SSIDs (802.1X) and web authentication using controllers for onboarding.

Can guest credentials or certificates be revoked manually before the set expiration date if needed?

Yes, guest credentials can be manually revoked before their set expiration date if needed. The JoinNow system allows sponsors to deactivate individual guest accounts at any time through the Sponsor Portal. This capability provides immediate control over guest access, allowing for the revocation of credentials whenever necessary.
