Secure Access for Temporary and Contract Workers
Loxada provides short-term staff with a fast, compliant, and secure way to connect without burdening your IT team or compromising your data.
The Problem
Contractors, agency staff, and temporary workers often require rapid access to internal systems and sensitive data, but they often work outside your standard IT environment.
They may use personal devices, connect from home or shared locations, and have little or no onboarding time. This creates multiple layers of risk:
- Their devices may not meet your security standards
- Their networks are likely unmonitored and potentially insecure
- IT teams may not have time to set them up properly or keep them updated
- Revoking access at the end of a contract can be inconsistent or delayed
In many cases, organisations default to VPNs and basic endpoint policies, but these rely on the user’s own device and network being safe. Without physical or virtual network separation, the organisation’s systems are exposed to lateral threats, malware, or data leakage.
This is particularly risky for roles handling regulated data, such as financial records, HR systems, or healthcare platforms.
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
Whether you’re managing seasonal demand, project work, or external audits, Loxada makes it easy to onboard and secure short-term workers without sacrificing security.
Everyday use cases include:
- Agency staff working from home
- Providing secure access to systems without requiring the shipment of laptops or the setup of VPNs on personal machines.
- Contractors accessing regulated data
- Maintaining control over who accesses what and from where without increasing compliance exposure.
- Remote training or support roles
- Enabling secure network segmentation for people accessing internal tools or customer platforms
- Temporary finance, legal, or HR teams
- Secure sensitive workflows involving payroll, contracts, or personnel data
In each case, the same benefits apply: rapid deployment, consistent controls, and no surprises at the end of the contract.
Why It Matters for Security and Operational Efficiency
Short-term users are often overlooked in cybersecurity planning, yet they pose a significant risk. They may be exempt from standard onboarding processes, use insecure networks, or retain access long after their role has ended.
Loxada closes this gap by offering a clear access path that is centrally managed, fully auditable, and enforceable regardless of user behaviour or network quality.
It also reduces operational complexity. Instead of configuring dozens of devices or handling helpdesk calls from unfamiliar users, IT teams can issue a single device and know it works securely out of the box.
This is particularly important for:
- Cyber insurance (showing secure provisioning and revocation)
- Audit readiness (having controls for third-party access)
- Incident response (knowing exactly who is connected and from where)
Loxada provides clarity, speed, and security all in one box.
