Offline Secure Storage® (#OSS) by industry 

# Your sector decides the evidence. The physics stay the same. 

Every industry has its own regulator, retention rules and threat model. Pick yours to see which data goes offline, how access is opened, and what evidence the vault produces.

-   Nine industries
-   Regulator-aligned evidence
-   Offline by default

01 Choose your industry

Every card leads to a full page: the data, the failure it prevents, the controls that hold it and the evidence it produces.

Regulated professions

## Legal

Client privilege, matter files and disclosure bundles held behind a physical air gap.

SRA and UK GDPR

See sector ](/oss-for-legal)[

02 What every sector shares 

## Four physical foundations, applied to different data.

The records change from one sector to the next. The physical logic underneath them does not.

Hardware

The data sits on physical Firevault hardware, not a shared cloud tenancy.

Disconnect

Offline by default. There is no standing network path in or out of the vault.

Command

Access opens on your instruction, with identity verified and every session logged.

Location

Held in a Firevault Bunker. Firevault provisions the location unless you request one in writing.

03 Other routes in 

## Prefer to start somewhere else?

Industry is one way in. You can also start from the need you have, the job you are doing, or the principles themselves.

### By need

Five needs across data and digital assets, from ransomware gold copies to personal records.

### By use case
