Offline Secure Storage for Investment, M&A and Portfolio Data

Investment teams, M&A specialists, portfolio companies, and the C-suite all handle deal-defining information. Offline Secure Storage takes that data off the network so it cannot be reached, copied, or weaponised between sessions.

This is already happening to deal and advisor data.

"When data is offline by default, the deal stays in your hands."

How Firevault Stops This

Disconnect to protect every deal, portfolio, and crown-jewel record.

Opportunity files, transaction data rooms, C-suite crown jewels, and advisor exchanges are taken off connected systems and written to dedicated drives inside a Firevault Bunker. Those drives have no internet connection, no IP address, and no API. The Primary End User wakes the Vault using non-IP technology, then authenticates with multi-factor and timed-access protocols. A nominated Vault Buddy preserves continuity if a principal leaves the firm. Every attempt and every action is logged, giving the board a defensible audit trail for cyber-insurance and regulatory scrutiny.

• Deal and portfolio records placed on hardware with no network connection. They cannot be scanned, ransomed, or exfiltrated remotely
• Multi-factor authentication and timed-access SOPs governed by the Primary End User, with controlled sharing for advisors and counterparties
• Vault Buddy continuity ensures the data remains operational through role changes, departures, and succession events
• Full audit logging of every access attempt, supporting director duties, NCSC guidance, and stronger cyber-insurance positioning
