The direct answer

A public explanation or interactive page should receive only the information needed for its public task. Hiding fields visually does not establish that private records are protected. For this audit pricing page, the practical test is whether the chosen audit’s scope matches the request made at the next step.

Is public information separated from private data?

Start with an owner choosing between local-presence and website reviews. The public-data boundaries check concerns the named scope, price, coverage and deliverable. Different audits can overlap without being identical. A pricing table should explain the distinction and avoid presenting all findings as verified measurements.

A corporate site and a location network need an explicit coverage count. A single-location price should not imply all branches are checked.

Check it on this page

Match a known problem to the review that addresses it, then compare the selected scope with the inquiry destination.

  • Inspect the public HTML, script data and query parameters.
  • Compare published fields with the minimum needed for the public task.
  • Use authorized access to inspect internal mappings; mark those checks pending if unavailable.

A content transfer was not the same as a working system transfer

Website planning separated content, publishing and application responsibilities. Keeping work inside an existing CMS limited which proposed integrations and external delivery methods were acceptable.

For this audit pricing page, the check focuses on the named scope, price, coverage and deliverable. Write down supported capabilities and required accounts before promising a migration, then test the public journey after the agreed handoff.

Repair the source, then check the published result

Restrict sensitive data at the appropriate system boundary and verify the published result. State private-access checks as unverified when the necessary authorized evidence is unavailable.

Record the public-data boundaries result for this destination, then repeat the customer route until the chosen audit’s scope matches the request made at the next step. If the repair changed a shared component, compare another destination with different approved facts to detect unintended copying.
