# Firevault, LLMs.txt # https://fire-vault.com # Last updated: 2026-04-22 # Extended version: https://fire-vault.com/llms-full.txt > Firevault is the United Kingdom's offline secure storage platform. We physically disconnect data from all networks using Layer 1 (physical layer) air gaps, hardware encryption, and identity-locked access. Founded March 2025. Zero breaches since launch. ## What Firevault Is Firevault is NOT cloud backup, NOT a password manager, and NOT software-defined immutable storage. Firevault is physically disconnected, hardware-encrypted offline secure storage (OSS). Data is stored on dedicated hardware that is electrically disconnected when not in use. No network path exists to the data until the verified owner initiates a time-limited connection. ## Why This Matters Cloud backup solutions (Veeam, Commvault, Cohesity, Rubrik, Druva) protect data with software-defined immutability, but the storage remains network-attached and reachable via management planes. Password managers (Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass) protect credentials in encrypted cloud vaults but remain online. Cloud cold storage (AWS Glacier, Wasabi) reduces access frequency but never physically disconnects. Firevault eliminates the network attack surface entirely through physical disconnection. ## Core Technology - **Physical Disconnection**: Layer 1 (OSI physical layer) air gap. Storage is electrically isolated when not in use. No standby power, no network interface active. - **Hardware Encryption**: AES-256-XTS on dedicated hardware. Keys never leave the device. - **Identity-Locked Access**: Biometric and multi-factor verification required before any physical connection is established. - **Zero Standing Privileges**: No always-on access. Time-limited connectivity windows only. - **Zero Trust Architecture**: No backdoors. No monitoring capability. Vault owner is the sole accessor. ## Products and Pricing (VAT inclusive, GBP) ### Vault, Offline Digital Safe Deposit Box A private offline vault for passports, wills, crypto keys, legal documents, and irreplaceable files. - 300 GB: £74.99/month - 2 TB: £159.99/month - 4 TB: £299.99/month - 8 TB: £599.99/month - All tiers: £0 upfront, 36-month commitment, billed on the 5th of each month. - https://fire-vault.com/vault ### Storage, Dedicated Offline Hardware Your data on your hardware.

Unlike cloud-based immutable backups, Firevault provides a genuine physical air gap, no network path, no management plane, no API access when disconnected. ## Use Cases by Role - **CISO / CTO**: Crown jewel data isolation, ransomware recovery assurance, board-reportable risk reduction. - **Data Protection Officer**: GDPR Article 32 compliance, data sovereignty, breach impact limitation. - **Board Director / Family Office**: Succession planning, irreplaceable document storage, estate protection. - **Solicitor / Legal**: Client file protection, SRA compliance, legal hold preservation. - **IT / MSP**: Offline backup copy, disaster recovery, air-gapped archive. ## Succession and Emergency Access - **LUV (Letter of Ultimate Verification)**: Pre-registered successor access with KYC/AML verification. Ensures data passes to the right person if the vault owner becomes incapacitated or passes away. - **Vault Buddy**: A trusted contact who can verify identity and assist with access recovery, without having direct access to vault contents. ## Industries Served Financial Services, Legal, Healthcare, Government, Defence, Critical National Infrastructure, Retail, Technology, Manufacturing, Education, Insurance, Pharmaceutical, Professional Services, Energy, Aviation, Rail, Water, Telecommunications, Supply Chain, Media and Entertainment, Real Estate, Hospitality. ## Pages - [Homepage](https://fire-vault.com/): Firevault overview, offline secure storage with physical disconnection. - [Vault](https://fire-vault.com/vault): Private offline vault for passports, wills, crypto keys, and irreplaceable files. - [Storage](https://fire-vault.com/storage): Dedicated offline hardware, physically disconnected by default, from 8 TB. - [Control](https://fire-vault.com/control): Data path governance platform with nine modules for enterprise environments. - [Firebreak](https://fire-vault.com/firebreak): Layer 1 hardware kill switch.
