M&A Documents Secured Offline
The Problem
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
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.
The 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
The Outcome
100%: Deal document integrity maintained
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.
