Why the current setup leaves this data exposed.
Every household has them somewhere: a passport scan emailed for a holiday booking, the children's birth certificates photographed on a phone, a driving licence copy sent to a car hire firm. Together they are the complete set a criminal needs to become you. Unlike a password, none of it can be reset. Once your identity documents are out, they are traded for years, and the cloud folder or old email thread holding them is reachable every second of every day.
The scenario, and what physical disconnection changes.
One realistic sequence of events, then the controls that break it.
Scenario
A couple in their fifties keep passport scans and their children's birth certificates in a cloud drive, as most families do. One phishing email later, an attacker downloads every document in the folder. Within weeks a bank account and two credit cards are opened in the father's name, and a mortgage application is declined because of debts he has never heard of. It takes more than two years to clear his name, and the documents themselves can never be made private again.
Protection
- Identity documents held on dedicated drives with no internet connection, no IP address and no login page to attack
- Access only during your nominated window, after you prove who you are with your own credentials and multi-factor authentication
- Stored in one of our bunkers, with tamper-evident handling and a full log of every session
- One vault per user, with a nominated Vault Buddy so your partner or adult children are never locked out
Identity documents exposed
Zero
With your family's identity documents held offline in Firevault Offline Secure Storage®, a breach somewhere else stops being your problem. Even if every online account you hold is compromised, the passports, licences and certificates were not online to take, so the cascade of fraud that follows an identity document leak never starts.
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.
