What is offline secure storage?

Offline secure storage (OSS) is a data protection method where data is physically disconnected from the internet when not in use. Unlike cloud storage, data stored offline has zero remote attack surface — it cannot be hacked, ransomed or accessed remotely because it is not connected to any network. Firevault provides this through hardware-encrypted vaults that are physically isolated.

How does Firevault protect against ransomware?

Firevault protects against ransomware by physically disconnecting your data from the internet. Ransomware can only encrypt data it can reach over a network. When your data is stored offline in a Firevault, ransomware attacks cannot reach it. Even if your entire network is compromised, your offline vault remains untouched and intact.

How much does Firevault cost?

Firevault Vault starts from £75 per month (inc VAT) for individuals. Business Storage starts from £360 per month (inc VAT). Enterprise Platform pricing is available on request. All plans include hardware encryption, identity verification, and physical disconnection by default.

Who is Firevault designed for?

Firevault is designed for individuals protecting passports, wills and crypto keys; professionals such as solicitors, accountants and consultants protecting client data; SMEs and businesses protecting crown jewel data; and regulated industries including healthcare, financial services and legal sectors requiring offline backup for compliance with GDPR, NIS2, DORA and FCA regulations.

Is Firevault GDPR compliant?

Yes. Firevault is designed to support GDPR compliance by keeping sensitive personal data physically isolated and offline. Physical disconnection ensures data is not exposed to network-based attacks, supports data minimisation principles, and provides an audit trail of access. Firevault is also designed to support NIS2, DORA, FCA and SRA compliance requirements.

What is a physical air gap?

A physical air gap is a security measure where a computer or storage device is completely isolated from the internet and all unsecured networks. Unlike a logical or software air gap, a physical air gap cannot be bridged remotely. Firevault uses a Layer 1 physical air gap — your data is stored on hardware that is physically disconnected from any network when not in active use.

Offline Secure Storage (OSS) for Families

Secure Generational Wealth Offline

Family offices manage wealth across generations, but digital assets create succession gaps that traditional estate planning cannot address. Offline Secure Storage provides the physical security and succession framework your legacy requires.

Why OSS

We Think This Is Hard to Ignore

The average high-net-worth cyber loss is £2.7 million. At Firevault, family assets live on dedicated hardware with identity-verified succession built in, because generational wealth requires generational protection.

What's Going Wrong

Traditional security misses digital risks.

Digital Asset Loss

Cryptocurrency, NFTs, and digital investments lost permanently when key holders pass without succession plans.

Family Discord

Unclear access to digital assets creates disputes that traditional wills and trusts cannot resolve.

Privacy Breach

Sensitive family information, business records, and personal documentation exposed to attackers or public.

The Reality

High-net-worth families are already being targeted.

The Scenario

Generational wealth requires generational protection.

A family patriarch passes unexpectedly. Cryptocurrency wallets, investment credentials, and digital account access are locked behind passwords no one else knows. Estate lawyers spend months — and millions — trying to recover assets that could have been securely transferred through a succession-ready vault.

"Digital assets require the same discipline as physical assets. Firevault gives us the vault and the succession framework we needed."

How Firevault Stops This

Take wealth records offline with built-in succession.

Trust documents, cryptocurrency keys, investment credentials, and family records are removed from cloud drives, password managers, and shared accounts — and placed on dedicated RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. Each family member has their own vault. Access requires individual identity verification through KYC checks. When the session ends, the drives disconnect. Vault Buddy solves the succession problem: when a principal passes, identity-verified, time-delayed access transfers to legal next of kin. No credentials are lost. No assets are locked forever.

Digital assets removed from cloud exposure — cryptocurrency keys, trust documents, and credentials are taken off connected systems where social engineering and phishing can reach them
Each family member has their own vault on dedicated hardware — not shared infrastructure, not a family cloud account, not accessible through a shared password
Identity-verified access through KYC — no one can access a vault without proving who they are. Not a family member, not a wealth advisor, not a disgruntled employee
Vault Buddy solves succession — when a principal passes, access transfers to verified legal next of kin through a time-delayed, identity-checked process. No assets are lost

Remove Wealth Records from Connected Systems

Step 1 of 3

Cryptocurrency keys, trust documents, investment credentials, and family records are taken out of cloud drives, email accounts, and shared platforms. They are written to dedicated RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. The assets no longer exist on systems that social engineers, phishing attacks, or compromised advisors can reach.
