Your offshore team, as secure as your own office

Every Connext team works on monitored equipment, inside secured facilities, with 24/7 IT support behind them. Your team works securely, as if they’re in your building.

Quick answer: What is secure offshore staffing?

Secure offshore staffing means your offshore team works under the same kinds of controls as your in-house staff. That includes provisioned and monitored devices, secured facilities, controlled access to your systems, and round-the-clock IT support. With Connext, those controls are SOC 2 Type II certified and independently audited.

Your security team’s first question: where does our data go?

48%
of breaches involved a third party

Every offshore hire is a third party with access to your systems. In Verizon’s 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report, 48% of breaches involved a third party, and people were involved in 62%.

The answer can’t be a promise. It has to be a set of controls you can check.

Everything your building has, your offshore seat has too

Your in-house team works behind badges, managed laptops, a corporate network, and an IT desk. Here’s what stands behind every Connext seat.

Five safeguards behind every Connext team

24/7 managed IT support

Connext’s IT Operations Center runs around the clock, with on-site IT support at every facility 24 hours a day, five days a week. Your in-country team manager handles first-level IT issues day to day, so problems get fixed before they reach your help desk.

Uptime monitoring and reporting

Every workstation runs Connext’s proprietary uptime monitoring tool, so equipment issues are caught early instead of showing up mid-shift. Uptime is reviewed with you in recurring business reviews.

Secure VPN and data protection

Team members connect to your systems through a secure VPN. Data stays protected with EDR software on every device, biometric facility access, electronics lockers, and a clean desk policy.

Real situations: teams trusted with sensitive systems

Health insurance company, Hawaii

Frequently asked questions

Is offshore staffing secure?
It can be, when the provider runs the same controls you would in-house. Look for provisioned and monitored devices, secured facilities, controlled access to your systems, round-the-clock IT support, and an independent audit. Connext provides all of these, validated by SOC 2 Type II certification.
What does SOC 2 Type II mean for an offshore team?
SOC 2 Type II is an independent audit of a company’s controls over a period of time, not a single-day snapshot. For an offshore team, it means the provider’s security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy controls have been tested by an outside auditor. Connext holds SOC 2 Type II certification covering all four.
Can offshore staff access our systems through a VPN?
Yes. Connext team members connect to your systems through a secure VPN, using only the accounts and permissions you grant. You can adjust or revoke access at any time.
How is data protected on team members’ devices?
Every team member uses a Connext-issued PC with EDR software and RMM monitoring, on-site or at home. In Connext facilities, personal electronics go in lockers, a clean desk policy applies, and entry is biometric. Personal devices never connect to your systems.
What happens if a workstation goes down?
Connext’s uptime monitoring flags equipment issues early, and the 24/7 IT Operations Center responds around the clock, with on-site IT support five days a week. Redundant internet and power at Connext facilities keep outages from stopping work.
Does Connext support HIPAA requirements?
Yes. For healthcare work, Connext signs a Business Associate Agreement and provides HIPAA training before anyone handles protected health information. Facilities run under SOC 2 Type II certified controls. HIPAA itself has no official certification; HHS does not recognize private “HIPAA certifications.”
Is Connext ISO 27001 or PCI DSS certified?
No. Connext holds SOC 2 Type II certification and supports HIPAA compliance with signed BAAs and HIPAA training. It does not hold ISO 27001 or PCI DSS certification. SOC 2 Type II independently tests controls for security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy.
What equipment does a Connext team member use?
A Connext-issued PC with an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, two screens, and a headset, running EDR software with RMM monitoring. Work-from-home team members get the same PC, the same secure VPN connection, and the same quarterly security training as on-site staff.
What security measures are in place at Connext facilities?
Biometric door access, electronics lockers for personal devices, and a clean desk policy, with redundant internet and power. Private rooms are available on request, across more than 50,000 square feet of workspace and 500+ secure seats at Connext delivery centers.
Who employs the offshore team?
Connext acts as Employer of Record for your team. Your team works only for you, inside your systems: you own your systems, data, and accounts, and set every access permission. Connext provides the PC, EDR and RMM, secure connection, support, and secure facilities for on-site staff.
