Law Firms
Client confidentiality is the cornerstone of legal practice. Whether you’re reviewing contracts from home, drafting pleadings in a serviced office, or joining a virtual hearing from a hotel, your professional duty to protect client data never stops. Yet, the networks you use outside the office are often beyond your IT team’s reach, creating a growing blind spot known as the uncontrolled network edge.
Loxada eliminates that uncertainty. By providing a secure, centrally managed router wherever your team connects, we help firms maintain confidentiality, meet regulatory requirements, and remain resilient against the latest cyber threats.
Why the Network Edge Deserves Your Attention
When solicitors, barristers, or support staff work remotely, they typically rely on consumer-grade or third-party routers. These devices often:
- Run out-of-date or unpatched firmware
- Can be factory-reset, wiping any hard-won security settings
- Lack segmentation, allowing other devices on the same network to snoop
- Provide no visibility or control for your IT or managed-service provider
If that router is compromised, the security of your practice-management software, document-management system (DMS), or cloud storage becomes irrelevant, attackers can intercept traffic before encryption or VPNs even become active.
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and ENISA (the EU Agency for Cybersecurity) both warn that edge devices, including home and small-office routers, are now primary targets. Their latest guidance urges firms to ensure firmware integrity, centralise updates, and treat remote connections as part of the organisation’s risk surface.
Your Regulatory Obligations
Under UK GDPR (and its EU counterpart), legal practices must adopt “appropriate technical and organisational measures” to protect personal data.
Meanwhile, the SRA Code of Conduct requires firms to demonstrate effective risk controls and maintain client confidentiality at all times.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has also clarified that remote working arrangements must include controls on the local environment, routers, Wi-Fi, and devices, not only on data storage. Firms handling sensitive categories of data, such as health or financial information, face even stricter scrutiny.
Failing to secure the connection layer can therefore jeopardise not only your professional reputation but also your compliance standing and insurance cover.
A Threat Landscape Transformed
Cyberattacks no longer require expert hackers. With Hacking-as-a-Service (HaaS) marketplaces and AI-driven attack kits, even low-skilled actors can rent tools to exploit known vulnerabilities at scale. Common network-edge attacks now include:
- DNS hijacking that silently redirects users to look-alike portals
- Man-in-the-middle interception on public or hotel Wi-Fi
- Lateral threats from infected devices on the same home network
- Persistent router compromise enabling long-term data exfiltration
Every practice area, from corporate M&A to family law, handles information that criminals can monetise or weaponise. The question is no longer whether you’re a target, but how you are protecting every path to your data.
Loxada: A Trusted Network Edge for Legal Teams
Loxada replaces risky, unmanaged routers with secure, pre-configured devices, providing your firm with a known-good network environment wherever work happens.
Each router:
- Runs Loxada’s proprietary secure firmware
- Establishes an always-on VPN at a firmware level, encrypting traffic from the first packet
- Receives automatic, cryptographically signed updates, eliminating manual patching
- Blocks malicious domains using real-time threat-intelligence feeds
- Prevents firmware rollback, even after a factory reset attempt
No software installation, user training, or on-site IT visit is required. Your lawyers plug it in, connect their laptops, and work securely every time.
