Professional Services
Professional services often operate outside traditional office settings. Whether advising from home, preparing reports in hotels, or reviewing documents in shared workspaces, risks to sensitive data typically arise at the point of connection, not within internal systems.
This is the uncontrolled network edge: the routers, Wi-Fi networks, and access points that sit outside your organisation’s direct IT management. When professionals rely on off-the-shelf routers or Wi-Fi outside your control to access client information, the result is a growing blind spot in your cybersecurity posture.
Loxada secures this edge by replacing untrusted hardware with managed, secure devices. This helps your team and clients trust that critical data is protected, wherever it is accessed from.
The Uncontrolled Network Edge Is a Real Business Risk
Cloud platforms and mobile working tools have made client work more flexible than ever. However, they haven’t removed risk; they’ve simply moved it further away from the office.
The edge devices professionals connect through are often:
- Unpatched or end-of-life, with known vulnerabilities
- Resettable to default settings, erasing any prior security hardening
- Shared with household devices, which may be compromised
- Incapable of network isolation, exposing professional devices to local threats
- Unlogged and unaudited, creating gaps in forensic traceability
- Built on proprietary firmware, with unclear or unverifiable supply chains
This is exactly the scenario flagged in guidance from the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the EU Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), both of which have urged organisations to secure edge devices with trusted firmware, strong update mechanisms, and centrally managed configurations.
Attacks Are Increasing, and Easier to Launch
Loxada provides a secure, centrally managed network connection, so your team reaches client data through a known, protected environment wherever they are working.
Each Loxada device:
- Runs Loxada’s secure firmware in place of the manufacturer’s.
- Establishes an always-on encrypted connection, built on the WireGuard protocol and routed through Loxada’s secure connectivity layer, active before any user action.
- Blocks known malicious domains, dropping requests to domains on Loxada’s aggregated blocklist before they resolve.
- Updates automatically, with firmware securely delivered and centrally managed by Loxada, and no user involvement.
- Returns to a secure state after tampering or a factory reset.
- Requires no configuration or training, allowing immediate deployment.
Whether you’re logging in from a serviced office or working on-site with a client, Loxada helps keep the network from being the weak link.

Meeting Compliance and Client Expectations
Increasingly, clients are evaluating their professional service providers not only on capability but also on their cybersecurity practices. Where data protection is part of your promise, the way you connect matters.
Loxada helps you demonstrate adherence to:
- UK GDPR and EU GDPR requirements for data access and transmission security
- Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) expectations around client confidentiality and IT controls
- The NIS2 Directive, which mandates stronger third-party and remote access protections
- Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) obligations for service providers supporting the financial sector
- Cyber insurance requirements, which increasingly ask about router firmware, update frequency, and secure access
- Client-led due diligence questionnaires, now common in procurement processes
By securing the point of access, you make it easier to pass audits, respond to RFPs, and reassure clients that their data is safe in your care.
