# Select a Solo (Free) workspace

This article is intended for single users who do not wish to implement advanced security features.

To assist with selecting the appropriate workspace, here is a set of concerns and the list of workspaces that can serve in such a context.

{% hint style="danger" %}
When choosing a non-on-premises workspace, it is important to account for the security of data both at rest and in transit. It is strongly recommended to further encrypt data using a master key for file-based solutions or a [security provider](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/commands/administration/security-providers/) for [advanced workspaces](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/workspace-types/native-workspaces/), ensuring that only authorized parties can access the data.For enhanced security features such as encryption at rest and in transit, restricted database access, and [zero-knowledge encryption](https://blog.devolutions.net/2023/05/unraveling-zero-knowledge-and-zero-trust-concepts/), consider our [Native Team workspaces](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/getting-started/checklist-enterprises/select-workspace-type/).

#### Notes

**Note 1**

The master XML file is managed by a single user and synchronized through Remote Desktop Manager to a website hosted according to specified configurations. Accessing the data via a URL ensures that other users have read-only permissions.

**Note 2**

There is no built-in protection against data contention. The workspace allows a single user to access the data from multiple devices, but simultaneous access by multiple users is not supported.
