Secure Connectivity in Serviced Offices and Shared Workspaces
Loxada protects your data when working in managed buildings or shared premises without requiring control over the network infrastructure.

The Problem
Serviced offices, shared buildings, and managed workspaces are popular with growing businesses and distributed teams. These environments often feel secure; they’re professionally run, have lockable private offices, and may even present themselves as “enterprise-grade” in their marketing.
But from a cybersecurity perspective, they’re frequently a blind spot.
Most companies in shared offices don’t control the network infrastructure they use. Even in private rooms or separate suites, internet access is typically provided by the building operator or a third-party service. It’s not clear how that network is configured, who else has access to it, or whether security patches are applied regularly.
Worse, attackers don’t need physical access to the room. If the building uses shared switches or poorly segmented VLANs, other tenants may potentially scan or compromise your devices, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
The assumption that a lock on the door equals a secure network is a dangerous one.
Loxada’s Solution
Loxada creates a secure digital perimeter for your team, even when you don’t control the physical or network environment.
Our managed routers connect wirelessly (or via Ethernet) to the building’s internet service and create an isolated, encrypted connection back to your internal infrastructure. This removes your dependence on whatever router, firewall, or switch the building happens to be using and ensures that your staff are protected against any other tenants or network threats within the shared space.
Key features include:
- No changes to building infrastructure required
- Plug in or connect via Wi-Fi. No landlord permission or reconfiguration needed
- Supports multiple users per device
- Loxada routers can support entire teams in small offices, ideal for hybrid or regional setups.
- Staff can move between different branches or shared office sites and automatically connect to their secure Loxada network
- Device-based isolation
Even if the building’s network is compromised or misconfigured, your team’s devices remain protected and invisible to other tenants.
This setup ensures your security posture remains strong, regardless of how the building is managed.
Benefits and Use Cases
Shared workspaces and serviced offices are convenient, but they shouldn’t compromise your data security or compliance obligations. Loxada provides a practical solution to regain control of your network perimeter.
Common use cases include:
- Regional office locations with no on-site IT
- Equipping teams with secure connectivity that works out of the box
- Staff working from WeWork, Regus, or similar providers
- Avoid exposure to shared infrastructure without complex installations.
- Companies using managed office suites in multi-tenant buildings
- Protecting devices from lateral threats and network misconfigurations
- Teams that move between locations
- Allowing staff to work securely from any shared site with a familiar, pre-configured connection
By providing a consistent, centrally managed access layer, Loxada helps extend enterprise-grade security to environments that were never designed with your business in mind.
Why It Matters for Security and Resilience
Risk is often viewed in binary terms; staff are either in the office (and trusted) or remote (and perceived as risky). But serviced offices and managed workspaces exist in a grey zone. They feel like part of your corporate footprint, but the underlying infrastructure is typically shared, opaque, and outside your control.
That creates risk not only from a technical standpoint but also from a compliance and reputational perspective. If a breach occurs because another tenant in the same building compromised your network connection, will your clients or regulators care that “it wasn’t your fault”?
Loxada removes the uncertainty. It allows you to enforce clear separation and secure access without needing to build or manage your own infrastructure in every location.
