Threats addressed
Why the current setup leaves this data exposed.
Board minutes, strategy papers, and financial forecasts represent the most sensitive decisions an organisation makes. Yet they are routinely shared via email and stored in cloud drives accessible to IT administrators. A single compromised email account can expose an entire year of board deliberations, moving share prices and triggering FCA investigations.
The scenario, and what physical disconnection changes.
One realistic sequence of events, then the controls that break it.
Scenario
A listed company's corporate email is breached. The attacker accesses the Company Secretary's mailbox containing two years of board packs, including pre-announcement financial results, acquisition strategies, and executive compensation details. The leaked papers are used for insider trading before the breach is even detected.
Protection
- Board papers stored in physically disconnected, tamper-evident storage, disconnected from any network
- Director-level access controls with full audit trail for every document interaction
- Long-term retention with guaranteed data integrity for Companies Act compliance
- Secure distribution and retrieval workflow designed for board meeting cycles
Board paper integrity preserved
100%
With board records stored offline in Firevault OSS, organisations eliminate the risk of remote access to their most sensitive governance documents. Even if corporate email or cloud systems are compromised, board papers remain physically disconnected and provably intact.
Hardware
The data sits on Firevault hardware, not a shared cloud tenancy.
Disconnect
Offline by default. No standing network path in or out.
Command
Access opens on your instruction, identity checked and logged.
Location
Held in a Firevault Bunker. Firevault provisions the location unless you request one in writing.
