What the solution includes

The exact set depends on what employees work with: email and documents need one thing, 1C and CAD another.

Choose a setup

A secure channel

A VPN into the office network instead of publicly exposed ports. Connection only with a company account and a second factor.

Virtual desktops

The desktop lives on the server: data never leaves the company perimeter and the home computer becomes just a screen.

Access to 1C

Terminal access or the web client with decent performance, without copying the database to local machines.

Two-factor authentication

A password plus confirmation from a phone. A stolen or guessed password alone no longer opens the door.

Permissions and revoking access

Access is granted by role, not on request. On termination it is closed with one action, including VPN and email.

Email and collaboration

Corporate email, calendars and file storage available from any device without emailing documents to yourself.

Which setup to choose

Three workable options. The choice depends on your data requirements, not on the number of remote employees.

Option 1

VPN on the laptop

The employee works on a company laptop over a secure channel.

Fast to deploy
A few days to set up
Data on the device
A lost laptop means a risk of leaked data
More often chosen

Option 2

Terminal access or VDI

The desktop runs on the server and the employee device is only a screen and a keyboard.

Data never leaves
Everything stays inside the company perimeter
A new employee onboarded in minutes
With no hardware to buy or configure

Option 3

Cloud services

Email, documents and collaboration in the cloud, with no access to the office network.

Works from anywhere
Independent of the office link
Does not cover 1C
The accounting systems stay in the office

The most common hole is a remote desktop port exposed to the internet. Automated scanners find such servers within hours, and password guessing follows. If that is your situation now, it is the first thing to close, even before anything else.

Frequently asked questions

If you work over a VPN with the database in the office, then most likely yes: a file-based database copes badly with network latency. The right answer is terminal access or the web client, where only the picture travels over the network rather than the data. Then the speed is almost the same as in the office.

Through VDI or terminal access, yes, and that is exactly their main advantage: data never reaches the home machine and the requirements for it are minimal. We do not advise letting personal devices into the office network directly over VPN: there is no way to control what is installed on them.

Technically it is visible who connected when and which resources they accessed; that is part of logging and is needed for security. We do not deploy screen or keystroke surveillance: that is a separate conversation with a legal side, and it usually does more harm than good.

A VPN with two-factor authentication for a 30-person office usually takes one or two weeks and is relatively inexpensive. VDI needs a server and is quoted separately, where the main cost is capacity for the number of concurrent sessions.
