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.

Every 11 seconds, another organization is hit. Ransomware has evolved from simple encryption to a sophisticated extortion industry worth hundreds of billions.

Evolution

Ransomware has become an industry

Stage 1

Encryption

Traditional ransomware encrypts files and demands payment for the decryption key. Simple but effective.

Example: WannaCry (2017) - Encrypted 200,000+ systems in 150 countries in one day

Stage 2 - Double Extortion

Data Exfiltration

Modern ransomware steals data before encrypting. Pay to decrypt AND pay to prevent public leak. Two ransoms.

Example: REvil pioneered this, now used by 77% of ransomware groups

Stage 3 - Triple Extortion

Business Disruption

Attack customers, partners, and suppliers. DDoS attacks on top of encryption and data theft. Maximum pressure.

Example: Vastaamo psychotherapy center - patients directly extorted after provider breach
