Securing Healthcare Data Anywhere

What is Loxada?

Loxada provides secure, managed routers designed for healthcare professionals who need to access sensitive data outside controlled IT environments. Whether working from a home office, a shared workspace, or while travelling, Loxada ensures compliance with HIPAA and other regulations without adding IT complexity.

Traditional security measures struggle to protect devices on untrusted networks. Loxada eliminates this risk by creating a separate, dedicated network for work devices, ensuring a consistent, compliant security standard no matter where your team connects.

Secure, Dedicated Networks for Healthcare

Meeting HIPAA Standards Without Complexity

Loxada takes a best-practice approach to network security for healthcare. Our managed routers automatically update, block malicious sites, and provide a secure connection that keeps PHI and Electronic Health Records (EHRs) protected - without requiring constant IT oversight.

Physical Network Separation for Better Protection

Instead of relying on unpredictable home or public Wi-Fi, Loxada creates a secure, dedicated network that physically separates work devices from other networks. This ensures that sensitive healthcare data is never exposed to untrusted connections, eliminating risks such as lateral movement attacks and unauthorized network access.

Security Wherever Your Team Works

Healthcare providers, researchers, and support teams often need to connect from diverse locations. Loxada ensures secure, seamless access to PHI, EHRs, and other sensitive data whether in a hospital, a shared workspace, or at home.

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

Addressing the "Black Hole" of Remote Network Security

Managed offices and coworking spaces

Healthcare IT teams often lack visibility into the security of external networks used by their staff. This creates compliance gaps and potential cyber risks.

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 removes security concerns for our remote practitioners, ensuring every connection is protected without disrupting consultations.

Why choose Loxada?

A Practical Solution for Healthcare Cybersecurity

Many security tools focus on securing individual devices but overlook the network itself. Loxada provides a dedicated, pre-configured network layer that enhances existing security measures like VPNs and multi-factor authentication.

Loxada's custom firmware

Custom Firmware Built for Healthcare Compliance

Loxada’s firmware is purpose-built for security and compliance, replacing the default software on commercial routers to provide a locked-down, healthcare-focused solution. Even after a factory reset, only Loxada’s secure firmware remains.

Automated deployment and updates

Hands-Free Security for Healthcare IT Teams

Loxada’s routers automatically configure and update themselves, reducing the burden on IT teams. This ensures security best practices are followed without requiring manual intervention.

The Loxada management portal

Complete Control Made Easy

Our management portal provides a central interface to oversee security metrics, register users, and manage devices. Whether supporting a hospital network or distributed clinical teams, Loxada offers straightforward, scalable management.

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 – the ability for attackers to spread through a network – is one of the biggest threats to PHI and EHR security. Once inside an unsecured network, cybercriminals can move undetected between connected devices.

Loxada prevents this by ensuring work devices are completely isolated from personal or untrusted networks, blocking attackers from gaining a foothold in your environment.

Loxada's technical architecture

Loxada’s routers create a secure, encrypted Remote Private Network (RPN) that terminates at our secure data centre. This ensures:

  • End-to-end encryption without additional software.
  • High-speed, reliable connections without compromising security.
  • Seamless integration with existing healthcare security policies.

 

Loxada complements – rather than replaces – your existing security tools, ensuring a layered approach that protects PHI and EHRs wherever your team connects.

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?

Technically, setting up a similar system yourself is possible, but managing ongoing updates, security patches, and compliance monitoring requires significant resources. Loxada provides a fully managed solution, ensuring your team stays protected without additional IT overhead.

If you prefer a DIY approach, we’ve published a technical guide outlining the steps required – but for most healthcare organisations, Loxada offers a simpler, more cost-effective path to secure, compliant data access.

For our maternal health team, security can’t be an afterthought – it has to be built in. Loxada ensures our clinical staff remain secure and compliant wherever they are, without adding unnecessary complexity.
