For family offices, advisers and families." lang: en-GB --- For family offices, private client advisers and the families they serve # Your wealth makes you a target. Keep the papers behind it physically offline. Trust deeds, property titles, passports and succession papers do not need to be online every day. Keep them in a Vault, physically disconnected until its named holder opens it. Your advisers and your family carry on as they do now. Create your Vault: https://fire-vault.com/get-started See how it works Vault from £360 a month inc VAT · 2TB, 4TB or 8TB Email, banking and shared folders **Always connected** Your Vault **Physically offline** Why it matters ## Wealth attracts attention. So do the papers behind it. Published research and cases from the last few years. In each one, where the records were kept shaped what happened next. ### Family offices worldwide 2024 43% of 354 single-family offices surveyed by Deloitte said they had experienced a cyberattack in the previous 12 to 24 months. A quarter had experienced three or more. Being private is not the same as being out of reach. Research Deloitte Private (https://www.deloitte.com/global/en/services/deloitte-private/research/family-office-cybersecurity-report.html) ### Pandora Papers October 2021 The path Confidential records held by 14 offshore service providers that set up trusts and companies for wealthy clients. What followed More than 11.9 million records, 2.94 terabytes, reached the ICIJ, exposing the offshore holdings of more than 130 billionaires and 330 politicians. A family’s private records are only as private as every adviser who holds a copy. Fewer copies ICIJ (https://www.icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/about-pandora-papers-investigation/) ### LastPass 2022 The path An engineer’s compromised home computer, then the master password to a business vault and the keys to cloud backups. What followed Backups holding personal data of up to 1.6 million UK users, with encrypted password vaults, were taken. The ICO fined LastPass UK £1.2 million in 2025. Where the keys to everything are kept matters as much as how they are locked. Offline copy ICO (https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs/2025/12/password-manager-provider-fined/)BleepingComputer (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/uk-fines-lastpass-over-2022-data-breach-impacting-16-million-users/) These figures and incidents show how connected records shape what happens next. They are not claims about what any single control would have prevented. What it is Email, banking apps and shared folders keep a family office running. The papers that prove what the family owns do not need to sit in them. If only there were one copy of what the family owns, with no path to it. Welcome to Offline Secure Storage®. A new approach to data storage. Your data sits on your own drives, physically disconnected, until a named person opens it from their registered phone. - **Controlled Connectivity**Physically disconnected at Layer 1. No IP path exists until a session is authorised - **Secured Offline Access**Requested from a registered phone, out of band, then sign-in and MFA - **Secured Offline Data**Your own dedicated drives, single-tenant, in a Firevault Bunker What it gives you ## Privacy you can point to, without changing how you live.
