The secure digital workplace for remote teams: Adopt a no local storage approach

While remote and hybrid work are now standard, many organisations remain tethered to fragmented legacy systems that compromise both security and agility. As workforces spread across locations, devices and time zones, the need for a secure, unified environment has never been greater. A modern digital workplace solves this by centralising access to applications and data without compromising endpoint security.

What does a digital workplace mean for remote teams? 

For remote teams, this type of environment is more than a collection of tools. It brings together applications, data, communication channels and workflows in one secure space. Instead of switching between systems, staff can access everything through a single, consistent interface.

This is especially important for organisations with legacy or bespoke applications. Many of these systems were never designed for remote access, yet they remain essential to daily operations. A unified work environment allows remote teams to use these applications securely, without redevelopment or disruption.

Why a no‑local‑storage model strengthens remote security

Traditional remote access models often rely on storing data on devices, which increases the risk of breaches, loss or unauthorised access. A secure digital workplace with no local storage removes this risk entirely. With session based access, data is viewed but never downloaded, copied or saved to the device. If a laptop or mobile phone is lost, stolen or compromised, no sensitive information is exposed.

This approach is particularly valuable for sectors where compliance and data protection are critical. Utilities, healthcare providers, defence organisations and government teams all benefit from a model that prioritises security without limiting mobility.

How secure is this model with 2GoCloud? 

Security is built into every layer of the 2GoCloud platform. Data is encrypted in transit, never stored locally and protected by strict access controls. Because users access applications through secure sessions, organisations maintain full oversight of how data is used without restricting productivity.

This model also reduces the burden on IT teams. There is no need to manage device level security, no risk of data leakage and no requirement for complex redevelopment. The result is a remote work ecosystem that is both secure and scalable.

How 2GoCloud supports remote teams

2GoCloud enables organisations to deliver a seamless experience for remote teams by providing:

• Secure access to both cloud and legacy applications

• Consistent performance across devices and locations

• No local storage, reducing risk and improving compliance

• A unified environment that simplifies workflows

• Faster onboarding for new staff, contractors and partners

By combining mobility with strong security, 2GoCloud helps organisations build a workplace environment that supports remote teams without compromise.

Looking ahead

As remote work continues to evolve, organisations need a secure, flexible and future ready environment. By adopting a model that removes local storage and protects data at every stage, businesses can empower their teams to work confidently from anywhere. With 2GoCloud, this becomes a secure foundation for long term growth and resilience.

FAQs

How does a secure, centralised access environment improve productivity for remote teams?

By bringing applications and data into one place, teams spend less time switching between tools and more time completing tasks. This reduces friction, speeds up collaboration and ensures everyone is working from the same, up to date, information.

Can a session based access model support legacy applications? 

Yes. Because users connect through secure sessions rather than installing or redeveloping software, legacy systems can be accessed remotely without any changes to the original application. This preserves existing investments while enabling modern mobility.

Is a ‘no local storage’ approach suitable for all industries?

It is especially valuable for sectors with strict compliance requirements, such as healthcare, utilities, defence and government. However, any organisation that handles sensitive or business critical data benefits from removing the risk associated with storing information on devices.
