Accountants
Your clients hand you their most sensitive financial information, tax records, audit findings, payroll data, confidential correspondence, and they expect it protected.
Most firms secure that data in storage and in transit. The gap sits somewhere less obvious: the point of access.
That point is the uncontrolled network edge: where your team connects to firm systems from a network your IT team cannot see or verify. A home broadband router. A hotel Wi-Fi network. The connection in a client’s meeting room or a co-working space. These are outside your control, and they are a direct path to the data you are trusted to protect.
Loxada helps close that gap with a simple managed device that secures the connection wherever your people work, before their traffic ever crosses an untrusted network.
Accounting Isn't Done at a Desk Anymore
Work happens everywhere:
- At home, through tax season and late filing nights
- On-site at client offices and partner locations
- On the road during audit season and M&A support
- From leased suites and co-working spaces
In every one of those places, your team is likely on a network that is insecure by default: no separation from the unknown devices sharing it, no visibility for your IT team, and no security assurances of any kind.
The Risk at the Edge: What Routers and Networks Leave Exposed
Most off-the-shelf routers, the consumer-grade devices found in homes, leased offices, and even some larger setups, share the same weaknesses:
- Firmware is rarely updated and often cannot be updated easily.
- Security settings are basic, with little to stop lateral movement across the network.
- Shared devices on the same network, another laptop, a smart TV, a games console, each become a possible way in.
- A factory reset wipes any hardening, dropping the device back to insecure defaults.
Even a router that looks up to date can still run outdated open-source components underneath. Firmware updates tend to fix the bugs users notice while leaving the underlying software libraries untouched.
The Threat Landscape Has Shifted
Compromising a network device used to take real skill. It doesn’t anymore, and that is what has changed the math for firms like yours.
Within breaches that involved exploiting a vulnerability, the proportion targeting edge devices and VPNs rose from 3% to 22% year on year, an almost eightfold increase (Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report). Ready-made tooling, automation, and searchable databases of exposed devices mean more people are running these attacks, against more targets, than ever before.
Accountants are squarely in that field of fire. Your data is valuable, it is time-sensitive, and that combination makes firms an attractive target for ransomware, data theft, and extortion. The odds against any single network outside your control are still low. Across a whole team, working from dozens of networks you cannot check, the aggregate exposure is what matters.
What Loxada Offers
Loxada gives your team secure, trusted access to sensitive systems and data, wherever they happen to be working.
Our managed secure routers:
- Replace the manufacturer’s firmware with Loxada’s own secure firmware, so your security no longer depends on the vendor’s code
- Route traffic through Loxada’s secure connectivity layer, an encrypted connection from the device out to the internet, keeping it clear of the untrusted local network
- Update automatically and securely, without relying on the hardware manufacturer’s patching
- Return to a secure state if tampered with, so a factory reset can’t quietly strip the protection away
- Block known malicious domains, dropping any request to a domain on Loxada’s aggregated blocklist of known-bad domains before it resolves
Setup takes no technical knowledge. Connect to the setup network, confirm your firm’s details and a one-time code, and the device configures itself. Nothing for the user to manage, and nothing for IT to build.
Built Around How Firms Actually Work
Loxada sits at the network layer, so it works transparently alongside the tools your firm already relies on, with nothing to reconfigure:
- File management and document retention systems
- Audit tools and tax preparation software
- Recordkeeping for FINRA, SOX, and IRS obligations
- Cloud accounting and SaaS platforms
It protects the people who need it:
- CPAs and tax professionals working remotely.
- Audit teams logging in from client environments and temporary offices.
- Partners and associates accessing sensitive records on the move.
- Seasonal and temporary staff working from wherever they happen to be.
Devices are tied to named users, managed centrally, and easily revoked the moment access is no longer needed.
Supporting Compliance and Cyber Insurance Requirements
However client data is accessed, your firm has to be able to account for how it is protected. Loxada helps you demonstrate alignment with:
- Cyber insurance requirements, which increasingly ask about network segmentation, firmware patching, and encrypted connections at the point of access.
- Client vendor assessments, now a standard feature of professional-service contracts and RFPs.
- The FTC Safeguards Rule, which requires secure access and device controls for firms handling customer financial information.
Deployment is fully auditable, with monthly security reports and device-status visibility, so you can show which devices are in use and how they are configured.
By restoring control at the uncontrolled network edge, you reduce exposure and make the compliance conversation a good deal shorter.
Why Accounting Firms Choose Loxada
- Protects client confidentiality across every work environment.
- Reduces risk from unmanaged routers and untrusted networks.
- Needs no IT training or user intervention.
- Complements your existing security, rather than replacing any of it.
- Demonstrates you are serious about security during audits, vendor reviews, and insurance renewals.
- Deploys quickly, with no configuration or implementation delay.
Loxada secures a specific layer, the network your team connects from when it is outside your IT team’s control, and complements your existing endpoint, identity, and connectivity tools, as it is designed to sit alongside them.
