Average cost of a deal data breach
Threats addressed
Why the current setup leaves this data exposed.
Mergers and acquisitions generate the most commercially sensitive documents in business. Due diligence packs pass through advisors, lawyers, and consultants, each a leakage point. Cloud-based deal rooms remain network-connected and therefore reachable by attackers. A single breach can collapse a deal, trigger regulatory investigation, and expose both parties to legal liability.
The scenario, and what physical disconnection changes.
One realistic sequence of events, then the controls that break it.
Scenario
During a £200M acquisition, a law firm's email system is compromised. The attacker gains access to the full due diligence pack, financial models, valuation analyses, IP assessments, and draft contracts. The leaked valuations are used to undermine the buyer's negotiating position. The deal collapses, and both parties face securities investigations.
Protection
- Deal room documents stored on physically isolated, air-gapped media, no network path to reach them
- Party-specific access controls with session logging for every document interaction
- Full audit trail supporting regulatory compliance and post-completion retention
- Secure handover and archival post-completion
Deal document integrity maintained
100%
By storing deal-critical documents offline with Firevault OSS, both parties eliminate the risk of network-based theft during the transaction lifecycle. The deal record is preserved with provable integrity, satisfying regulatory and archival obligations.
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.
