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.

Password Vault

Master Keys. Beyond Reach.

Cloud password managers concentrate every credential in one always-online target. A Firevault Password Vault keeps your master keys, seed phrases and recovery codes physically disconnected — retrieved only when you authorise it.

Why OSS

Password Vault

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

Why Cloud Password Managers Fail

One online vault. One catastrophic blast radius.

Cloud Vault Exposure

Encrypted or not, a cloud password vault is permanently online. When the provider is breached, your entire credential set is exfiltrated in one go.

Master Key Single Point Of Failure

One stolen master password, session token or device unlocks everything. Phishing, malware and SIM-swap attacks all converge on this single key.

Crypto Seed Phrase Theft

Seed phrases stored in notes apps, screenshots or cloud password managers are routinely harvested. Once gone, the funds are gone.

The Reality

This is already happening to credential vaults.

LastPass: ICO Fined £1.2M After 1.6 Million UK Vaults Exposed

The ICO fined LastPass £1.2 million for failures that allowed hackers to steal encrypted password vaults and personal information of 1.6 million UK customers. The ICO described the measures as unacceptable for a security company.

The Scenario

One vault. Everything gone.

A high-net-worth individual stores their master password and crypto seed phrase in a leading cloud password manager. The provider is breached. Within 72 hours, £2.3M of digital assets are drained and personal accounts compromised across banking, email and identity. With a Firevault Password Vault, those credentials would never have been online to steal.

"If a single password unlocks your entire life, it should not live on the internet."

The OSS Password Vault

Store the keys to everything offline.

Your master credentials, seed phrases and recovery codes live inside a physically disconnected vault. They cannot be remotely phished, scraped or exfiltrated — because there is no connection to attack.

Take Credentials Off Connected Password Managers

Step 1 of 3

Master credentials, seed phrases, and recovery codes are taken off connected password managers and written to physically disconnected RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. No cloud vault. No always-on target.
