Control Module - VAULT

FV-Transfer. Movement only along paths that were approved.

Transfer governs how sensitive assets move into, out of or between protected environments. The path is approved before the movement, the movement is recorded as it happens, and the destination is one that was always intended.

Approved paths

Movement is restricted to routes that were sanctioned

Validated

Every transfer is checked before it begins

Bounded

Source, destination and contents are explicit

Recorded

The whole movement is part of the evidential record

"Transfer is the difference between an asset that moved and an asset that left."

Approved paths only

Movement is restricted to paths that have been agreed, not paths that happen to be reachable.

Explicit source and destination

Every transfer names its source, its destination and the contents involved.

Pre-movement validation

Validate confirms the request before the asset moves, so checks are not retrospective.

Authority-aware

Lock provides the framework that determines whose authority makes the transfer eligible.

Into, out of and between

The same discipline applies to ingress, egress and movement between protected environments.

Evidential record

The whole movement, including request, approval and outcome, is recorded through Archive.

Step 1

Map the movements

Identify the movements of sensitive assets that genuinely occur, including the improvised ones.

Step 2

Sanction the paths

Agree the approved paths, destinations and authorities for each category of movement.

Step 3

Pilot one workflow

Move one category of movement onto Transfer end-to-end, including Validate and Lock.

Step 4

Retire the improvisations

Migrate further movements onto Transfer and close the improvised routes.
