Secure Access from Holiday Homes and Vacation Rentals
Loxada keeps your data safe even when staff are working from unknown, untrusted networks in rental properties or holiday accommodation.
The Problem
Loxada protects users even in the most unpredictable network environments. Our secure, pre-configured routers enable staff to connect safely to internal systems without relying on the local network’s security.
Whether plugged in or connected wirelessly to the property’s internet, the Loxada device creates a private, encrypted tunnel back to your organisation, shielding devices from any lateral threats and ensuring all data is transmitted securely.
Key benefits when working from holiday homes include:
- Secure even if the router is compromised
- Loxada isolates the user’s device from local traffic, no matter how insecure the Wi-Fi
- Portable and easy to pack
- Devices are compact and designed to work in varied environments, ideal for business travellers or extended stays
- Zero technical setup by the user
- The devices can be pre-configured and managed centrally. No software to install, and no technical skills required
- Protects against lateral movement and network spoofing
- Even if the property’s network is fake or malicious, Loxada maintains a known-good path back to your infrastructure
This enables staff to remain productive during travel without taking unnecessary security risks or needing to notify IT in advance.
Loxada’s Solution
Loxada simplifies secure access for temporary workers by providing a pre-configured router that enforces network-level protection without requiring the user to reconfigure their personal equipment or ship corporate devices.
The device connects wirelessly or via Ethernet to the user’s existing internet and creates a secure, isolated network segment. Anything connected to the Loxada router is routed through an encrypted tunnel to your internal systems, with central control and zero reliance on the user’s own network setup.
Key features for contractor use include:
- Quick to deploy and revoke
- Devices are shipped ready to use, and access can be removed centrally by deactivating the subscription.
- Secure regardless of user location or hardware
- Protects against threats from local networks and unknown devices.
- Ideal for BYOD environments
- There is no need to configure personal laptops or install client software; just connect through Loxada.
- Tamper-resistant and reset-proof
- The device always reverts to a known-good state and cannot be reconfigured by the user
This reduces the burden on your IT team and ensures consistent access control even when users are working on short-term contracts or project-based roles.
Benefits and Use Cases
Holiday homes and vacation rentals are rarely treated as work environments, but your data doesn’t know that. Whether staff are logging in briefly during a break or working remotely for extended periods, the same cybersecurity standards should apply.
Common scenarios include:
- Execs or staff extending business trips
- Enable secure access during downtime without compromising sensitive data.
- Professionals taking bleisure trips
- Protect systems even in temporary or unpredictable environments
- Contractors or freelancers working while relocating
- Maintain compliance and control over third-party access, even when they aren’t on your infrastructure
- Leadership teams connecting from second homes
- Ensure board packs, strategic documents, and sensitive reports aren’t viewed over insecure networks
By using Loxada, you eliminate guesswork and establish a secure perimeter that follows your team.
Why It Matters for Risk and Compliance
Holiday homes and rentals are the perfect example of a scenario where convenience can unintentionally introduce risk. From a compliance perspective, these environments fall well outside any “known-good” infrastructure. From a security standpoint, they’re often the easiest point of entry for attackers targeting organisations through personal routines and blind spots.
Loxada ensures that security isn’t left behind just because someone is away from their usual desk. It enforces a consistent access policy, maintains network separation, and ensures that the risks of unknown infrastructure are mitigated by design rather than being dependent on user behaviour or awareness.
This aligns with general cybersecurity best practice, GCHQ and NSA network edge guidance, and the increasing expectations of insurers and regulators who now ask: how do you protect data when staff are outside your network?
