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.

Family Office

Generations Of Wealth. Quietly Protected.

Family wealth attracts targeted attack. A Firevault Family Office vault keeps trust deeds, succession plans, beneficiary records and private banking documents physically disconnected and retrievable only on authorised request.

Why OSS

Family Office

Your most sensitive data deserves protection that goes beyond software. Firevault provides the only storage that is physically unreachable by design.

Why Cloud Family Offices Fail

Generational records do not belong on a quarterly-renewed cloud subscription.

Cloud Concentration Risk

Trust deeds, succession plans and bank mandates often live in a single cloud workspace shared across advisers, lawyers and family. One breach exposes the entire estate.

Adviser And Staff Turnover

Lingering access from former advisers, accountants and household staff is the leading source of family office data leakage. Most are never properly revoked.

Targeted Wealth Reconnaissance

Sophisticated attackers profile beneficiaries from leaked records, then social-engineer staff to authorise transfers and amend instructions.

The Reality

This is already happening to high-net-worth families.

The Scenario

Three generations exposed in one breach.

A family office stores its trust deed bundle, beneficiary register and private banking mandates inside a popular cloud workspace. A former adviser's account is compromised. Within weeks, two beneficiaries are targeted by impersonation fraud and an amended payment instruction is nearly authorised. With a Firevault Family Office vault, none of those documents would have been reachable from the internet.

"Generational wealth deserves generational protection. Not a cloud subscription."

The OSS Family Office

Hold the family record offline. Release it only when authorised.

Your Family Office vault holds trust deeds, succession plans, beneficiary registers and private banking documents inside a physically disconnected vault. Retrieval is identity-locked, audited and granted only when you authorise it.

Air-gapped storage for trust, succession and estate documents
Beneficiary registers and instructions held tamper-evident
Audited retrieval for advisers, trustees and named family members
Identity-locked access — no remote, no shared link, ever

Take Wealth Records Off Shared Platforms

Step 1 of 3

Trust deeds, succession plans, and beneficiary registers are taken off shared platforms and written to physically disconnected RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. No cloud workspace. No lingering adviser access.
