Offline Secure Storage for Financial Services
Asset managers, insurers, payment firms and fintechs hold data attackers prize and regulators protect. Offline Secure Storage (OSS) removes it from internet-reachable infrastructure entirely.
- Client portfolio data theft
- Payment and policyholder fraud
- FCA and DORA operational-resilience risk
- Insider dealing data leaks
Offline Secure Storage® keeps a clean copy on hardware that is physically disconnected.
Financial Services Reality
Financial services run on data attackers will pay millions to reach: client portfolios, policyholder records, payment credentials and market-sensitive research. The FCA, PRA and DORA do not accept "we patched it" once client money or fiduciary records are exposed. Firevault removes those records from internet-reachable infrastructure entirely, so a credential leak or cloud misconfiguration can no longer end in a regulator-published headline.

Financial data demands the highest protection.
Client Portfolio Data
Holdings, mandates and market-sensitive research are high-value targets.
Regulatory Fines
FCA and PRA impose severe penalties for data protection failures.
Payment Fraud
Payment credentials and policyholder records drive record levels of UK fraud.
This is already happening in financial services.
Every incident below is a matter of public record. Each one involved data that was reachable from a live network at the moment of compromise.

We Think This Is Hard to Ignore
The ICO fined Capita £14 million for failing to protect pension data held on always-on infrastructure. At Firevault, financial records live on hardware that physically disconnects between sessions, because regulatory exposure starts with connected exposure.
Remove financial data from every system attackers can reach.
Client records, portfolio archives, policyholder files and regulatory data are taken off always-connected infrastructure and written to dedicated RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. Those drives have no internet connection. No IP address. No API. When authorised personnel need access, a physical connection is created after identity verification. When the session ends, the drives disconnect.
- Financial records removed from cloud infrastructure and placed on hardware with no network connection. Attackers cannot reach what is not online
- Stolen credentials cannot unlock hardware that is physically disconnected. There is no login to brute-force, no API to exploit
- Full audit trail for FCA, PRA, and DORA reporting. Every access session is identity-verified and logged
- Supports DORA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR requirements through the strongest possible technical measure, physical disconnection
Take Financial Records Off Connected Infrastructure
Step 1 of 3Client records, portfolio archives, and regulatory files are taken off always-on infrastructure and written to physically disconnected RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. No cloud. No API. No attack surface.
What the regulator says
“Firms must be able to demonstrate that they have identified, classified and protected critical or important functions, including data, against the full range of ICT-related risks.”
