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.

Master Passwords & Recovery Keys Offline

80%Of breaches involve stolen or weak credentials

The Problem

Password managers are cloud-connected by design. That means your master password, recovery keys, and every credential they protect are only as safe as the cloud infrastructure they sit on. When a password manager is breached — and several major providers have been — attackers gain access to entire credential vaults. Crypto seed phrases stored in notes, 2FA backup codes saved in documents, and master recovery keys kept in cloud storage are all reachable from anywhere in the world.

The Scenario

A high-net-worth individual stores their crypto wallet seed phrases and master passwords inside a leading cloud password manager. The provider suffers a breach, and encrypted vaults are exfiltrated. Within weeks, attackers brute-force weaker master passwords and begin draining crypto wallets. The individual loses access to £2.3M in digital assets. Recovery keys stored in the same cloud ecosystem are also compromised, leaving no fallback.

The Protection

Master passwords and recovery keys stored on physically air-gapped media — no network path exists for attackers to reach them

Crypto seed phrases and wallet backups kept in tamper-evident, monitored offline storage

2FA backup codes and emergency access credentials secured beyond cloud reach

Physical retrieval ensures only authorised individuals can access critical credentials

The Outcome

Zero: Credentials exposed

With master passwords and recovery keys stored offline in Firevault OSS, the individual's critical credentials remained physically unreachable during the cloud breach. No crypto assets were lost, no accounts were compromised, and full access was restored using offline-stored recovery keys.
