What is Loxada?

Loxada takes connectivity security to the next level for healthcare professionals working remotely, in managed offices, or on the move. In an industry where safeguarding sensitive information such as Protected Health Information (PHI) is critical, Loxada offers a tailored solution to ensure compliance with HIPAA while enabling secure and flexible work environments.

 

When connecting to networks outside your IT team’s control, the best way to protect your company, team, and clients is to have a separate, secure network device for each team member that can only be used for work; Loxada’s remotely managed devices provide this and more.

Best Practice Cybersecurity for Healthcare

Meeting HIPAA Standards with a user-friendly security solution. Loxada combines industry best practices with advanced cybersecurity to protect healthcare professionals and their organisations. By separating work devices from potentially insecure networks and employing secure, automatically updated routers, Loxada ensures PHI and Electronic Health Records (EHRs) remain safe and compliant. We manage all our devices so your team can focus on their work, not network security.

Physically separate devices

Creating a Secure Remote Private Network (RPN) for each user. Loxada physically separates work devices from other networks in home offices, coworking spaces, and other external locations. This additional layer of protection—a Remote Private Network (RPN)—goes beyond traditional cybersecurity measures to reduce the risk of breaches and lateral movement threats.

Secures Healthcare Teams Anywhere

Secure Access for Providers, Researchers, and Support Teams wherever they are. Loxada creates a secure, managed network wherever users connect, whether in a hospital, from a home office, or during travel. The system is easy to set up and maintain, giving users the freedom to securely access PHI, EHRs, and other sensitive data from any location.

Not knowing about the security of the remote networks that users connect to is a security risk.

Remote workers' routers are black holes

Managed offices and coworking spaces

It's virtually impossible to confirm the security of the IT networks in the locations where your users work if you don't manage them yourself.

Multiple ISPs and devices

Users have lots of options for who their Internet connection providers are and the routers they use. This is great for them but terrible for you to keep track of and secure.

The Risks of Devices Outside IT Control

Even with robust internal security measures, devices and networks outside your control pose significant threats.

Loxada provides us with the assurance of working remotely without any increase in risk or compromise in security. It’s a safety net that allows us to focus on our work.

Why choose Loxada?

A Tailored Solution for Healthcare Cybersecurity

The increasing reliance on remote and hybrid work in the healthcare sector demands advanced cybersecurity solutions. Traditional measures often fall short, especially for teams accessing PHI and EHRs from unmanaged networks. Loxada provides a tailored, all-in-one solution designed to meet the unique needs of healthcare organisations.

Loxada's custom firmware

Purpose-Built for Healthcare Compliance
Loxada’s custom firmware powers our secure routers, which are designed to physically separate work devices from other networks. This ensures PHI and EHRs are protected, even when users connect from shared, public, or home networks. The firmware is user-friendly and works in the background to provide constant, automated security.

Automated deployment and updates

Hands-Free Security for Healthcare IT Teams
Loxada simplifies device deployment and updates, freeing IT resources for critical tasks. Devices are automatically configured and patched with the latest security protocols, ensuring HIPAA compliance without user intervention.

 

For healthcare organisations without dedicated IT teams, Loxada devices can be deployed and managed entirely by us, ensuring your team is always protected.

The Loxada management portal

Complete Control Made Easy
Our bespoke management portal makes registering users, monitoring security metrics, and managing devices simple. Whether overseeing a hospital network or a distributed team of clinicians, the portal provides a single, intuitive interface for complete control over your Loxada deployment.

Loxada has a fully featured administration portal for system administrators.
Lateral movement is where an attacker tries to compromise devices and systems around them.

Why is Lateral Movement a Threat to Healthcare?

The Silent Risk to PHI and EHRs
Lateral movement—a tactic used by advanced cyber threats—allows attackers to infiltrate healthcare systems, remain undetected, and steal sensitive data like PHI and EHRs. This risk is heightened in healthcare environments where multiple devices and systems interact. Loxada reduces this risk by isolating work devices within a secure Remote Private Network (RPN), cutting off avenues for attackers to spread.

Loxada's technical architecture

Advanced Security with a Simple Deployment
Loxada’s custom firmware creates a dedicated RPN that terminates at our secure data centre, enabling secure data transmission while ensuring compatibility with existing systems. Our hardware-based approach eliminates the need for additional software, offering fast encryption and ample bandwidth support.

 

Loxada integrates seamlessly with existing healthcare security measures, including VPNs, firewalls, and authentication protocols, providing an additional layer of protection without disrupting current workflows.

It is a simple process to get users set and and running with Loxada.

Loxada's automated deployment

The automated deployment process is one of Loxada’s standout features, designed to simplify the rollout of devices across an organisation. 

This is achieved through algorithms and protocols that handle everything from device registration to initial setup. 

 

Once a device is deployed, it automatically configures itself based on predefined settings, making the process virtually hands-free for IT departments.

Loxada's automated update mechanism

Loxada’s devices are built with automated updates in mind, ensuring that each device is always running the latest and most secure version of its software. 

The update mechanism is designed to be non-intrusive, running in the background without manual intervention.

 

This is made possible checksum verification, secure data transmission, and rollback features in case of update failure.

Complementing existing security measures

Enhance, Don’t Replace, Your Security
Loxada is designed to enhance existing corporate security measures, such as HIPAA-compliant VPNs and two-factor authentication. By adding a secure RPN layer, Loxada mitigates risks associated with remote access, protecting PHI and EHRs in compliance with healthcare regulations.

Loxada works with all security measures you already have in place.

Loxada's security protocols and compliance

Loxada’s custom portal, hardware and RPN technology adhere to stringent security protocols, including advanced encryption algorithms and secure key management at the hardware level.

The solution is also engineered to meet or exceed various compliance standards, offering additional assurance of its security capabilities; regular security audits are carried out, and the most recent test results are always available upon request.

The Loxada system is built according to security best practice and regularly tested for security issues.

Why wouldn't I implement this myself?

Focus on Healthcare, Not IT Complexity!
Setting up a similar system yourself is technically possible, but resource-intensive. From configuring home routers to ongoing compliance checks, the time and effort required are significant. Loxada eliminates this burden by providing a fully managed solution, ensuring your organisation remains secure, compliant, and focused on delivering care.

If you do want to do this yourself, in purely technical terms, replicating the basic functionality of the Loxada system yourself is pretty straightforward, and we’ve even written a blog post to guide you on what’s required.

Managing risk is of paramount importance to us. Loxada makes it simpler for staff to be secure when working away from the office.
