Public registers

Freely available government and public register data. Included on all plans.

Companies House

Company profiles, officers, persons with significant control (PSCs), charges, insolvency proceedings, and financial filings from the UK company register.

Companies House financial filings

Structured financial data extracted from iXBRL accounts filings — turnover, net assets, profit/loss, employee counts, and balance sheet history.

UK Sanctions List (OFSI)

The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation consolidated list. Screens company directors, PSCs, and corporate entities against sanctioned individuals and organisations.

Scottish charity register data — registration, trustees, and financial reporting status.

The Gazette

Statutory notices from the London, Edinburgh, and Belfast Gazettes — including winding-up petitions, administration orders, striking-off proposals, and insolvency appointments.

Gender Pay Gap Service

Annual gender pay gap submissions from employers with 250+ staff — median and mean pay gaps, bonus gaps, and quartile breakdowns.

Modern Slavery Registry

UK Modern Slavery Act section 54 statements — tracks whether qualifying companies have published a transparency statement and when.

ICO Data Protection Register

Information Commissioner's Office register of data controllers — confirms whether a company is registered as required under UK data protection law.

Environment Agency

Enforcement actions and prosecutions for environmental permit breaches, pollution incidents, and waste management violations.

National Archives (BAILII)

Court and tribunal decisions from the British and Irish Legal Information Institute — employment tribunals, contract disputes, and regulatory proceedings.

Contracts Finder / public tenders

Public procurement contract awards and tender notices — shows which companies have won government contracts and their value.

Disability Confident

DWP's Disability Confident employer scheme — checks registration at Level 1 (Committed), Level 2 (Employer), or Level 3 (Leader).

Armed Forces Covenant

MoD Employer Recognition Scheme — checks whether a company has signed the Armed Forces Covenant and holds Bronze, Silver, or Gold recognition.

European Patent Office (Espacenet/OPS)

Registered patents filed in a company's own name — UK, European, and international applications. Shows how many inventions a business has protected, whether they have been granted, and in how many countries, as an indicator of genuine product development and export activity.

UK, EU and international trade mark registers

Registered trade marks held in a company's own name across the UK register, the EU register, and international registrations under the Madrid system. Shows which brands a business has protected, whether those registrations are still in force, how widely they are protected, and which classes of goods and services they cover — an indicator of established brand value and trading reach.

Regulatory and certification

Sector-specific regulatory bodies and certification registers. Availability varies by source — see the badge on each card.

Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

FCA Financial Services Register checks for firms carrying out regulated financial activity. Confirms authorisation status, surfaces enforcement actions and regulatory conditions, summarises permission scope, and flags financial-sector companies missing from the register.

Food Standards Agency (FSA)

Starter+

Food Hygiene Rating Scheme data for ~599,000 UK food establishments. Checks hygiene ratings, inspection recency, sub-score breakdowns, and rating change history for linked businesses.

Cyber Essentials (IASME/NCSC)

Starter+

NCSC-backed Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification status. Confirms whether a company holds current certification.

ISO certification databases

Starter+

ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), ISO 22000 (food safety), ISO 27001 (information security), and ISO 45001 (occupational health) certification status checks.

SSIP accreditation

Starter+

Safety Schemes in Procurement — checks current SSIP accreditation through recognised member schemes including CHAS, SafeContractor, and Constructionline.

Care Quality Commission (CQC)

The regulator of health and adult social care in England. Covers registered providers and their locations, registration status and history, service types and specialisms, and published inspection ratings across the five key questions — safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well-led.

Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW)

The regulator of registered care and support services in Wales. Covers providers and their services, service types, and published inspection ratings under both the adult (RISCA) and childcare frameworks. CIW publishes neither an overall service rating nor assessment dates, so any overall figure shown for Wales is one Senserity derives, and is labelled as such.

Care Inspectorate (Scotland)

The regulator of care services in Scotland. Covers registered services and their providers, service types, published inspection grades on the six-point scale, the regulator's own risk assessment, enforcement action, upheld complaints, and requirements issued at inspection. Scotland publishes no company or charity number, so links between services and companies are inferred from name and address and carry a recorded confidence.

Traffic Commissioners operator licensing (DVSA)

The register of goods and public service vehicle operator licences for Great Britain, published weekly by DVSA on behalf of the Traffic Commissioners. Anyone running goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, or carrying passengers for hire, must hold a licence for the traffic area they operate from. Covers licence type and status, authorised vehicle and trailer numbers, operating centres, named transport managers, and continuation dates — including licences curtailed or suspended after a public inquiry. Northern Ireland is licensed separately by the Transport Regulation Unit and is not covered.

Paid commercial data sources providing credit, sanctions, and media intelligence. Available from Starter tier.

Creditsafe

Starter+

Commercial credit reports including credit score, credit limit recommendation, CCJ history, and insolvency events from one of the UK's largest business credit agencies.

Web and infrastructure

Automated analysis of a company's website, email infrastructure, and online presence. Available from Starter tier.

Website security analysis

Starter+

Automated analysis of a company's website — SSL certificate validity, security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options), CMS detection, and sensitive path exposure.

Malware and phishing screening

Starter+

Checks company domains against Google Safe Browsing and URLhaus databases for known malware distribution, phishing pages, and other threat indicators.

Email infrastructure

Starter+

MX record validation, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC policy analysis — assesses whether a company's email infrastructure meets current security standards.

Certificate Transparency logs

Starter+

Public logs that every certificate authority must publish when it issues a TLS certificate. Senserity uses them to discover a company's internet-facing hostnames, then checks each one for expired, self-signed or unverifiable certificates, exposed development and remote access systems, and internal names leaked into the public record.

Derived intelligence

Senserity’s own analysis layer, built by cross-referencing data from all other sources.

Corporate network graph

Senserity's own derived intelligence — maps director interlocks, shared PSC structures, subsidiary relationships, and cross-company connections to surface hidden risks.

Licensing and attribution

Many of the public register and regulatory sources above are published by UK public bodies under the Open Government Licence. Where that is the case, this site and the Senserity platform contain public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

The Care Quality Commission, Care Inspectorate Wales, and the Care Inspectorate in Scotland are the sources of the care registration, estate, and inspection data for England, Wales, and Scotland respectively.

Senserity analyses, combines, and scores this data. Any score, grade, average, or other figure Senserity produces is our own work and must not be attributed to the publishing body. The publishers are responsible for the records they publish, not for what we derive from them.

Commercial sources are licensed separately and are not covered by the above.

Senserity continuously evaluates new data sources. If you have suggestions, let us know.
