Firevault, offline secure storage, physically disconnected from the internet
Why OSS
Offline Secure Storage logoWhy Offline Secure Storage®

Most storage is built to stay reachable.

Own your data, physically. Offline Secure Storage® gives important data another state: dedicated hardware that is physically disconnected by default, and connected only when authorised access is needed.

Connected by default

Reachable all day, defended in software

Offline by design

No path until you authorise one

  • Offline by default

01The risk

Four reasons to put distance between the network and the asset.

This is not another security product. It changes how long high-consequence data is reachable from a network.

  1. Reduce standing exposureAlways-available storage creates an always-available route that has to be defended continuously. OSS changes the starting condition.
  2. Add control below the software stackMFA, firewalls, segmentation and immutability stay valuable. Physical disconnection adds separation at a different layer.
  3. Protect the recovery sourceRecovery data is most valuable when it is kept apart from the connected environment it may need to rebuild.
  4. Make connectivity intentionalNot every important asset needs to be live all the time. OSS gives those assets a secure state to return to.

02The difference

Connected by default, or offline by design.

The difference is structural. Traditional platforms protect an available path. Offline Secure Storage® physically removes that path while your storage is offline. It rests on four physicals.

Dedicated hardware

Physical storage

Offline Secure Storage instances are held on dedicated physical hard drives, not in S3 cloud buckets, shared storage pools or multi-tenant infrastructure. Your selected data is assigned to real hardware, with dedicated RAID 1 drives providing resilience.

Physical drives. Dedicated capacity. Never shared.

03What changes

Sleep better knowing the important copy is offline.

Your systems stay connected. The data you cannot afford to lose moves into a state where there is no route to it until you open one.

Connected by defaultOffline by design
Standing exposureReachable all dayReachable only in an authorised session
DefenceSoftware guarding an open routeNo route to guard until you open one
Recovery sourceInside the environment you are recoveringOutside it, on dedicated hardware
AccessAlways availableIntentional and time-limited

It is not about more IT. It is about peace of mind, with one important copy kept outside the connected environment.

04Where it fits

Not a replacement for cloud. A different state for different data.

Live operational data should stay available. Retained, recovery and crown-jewel data can be judged differently.

Keep connected

Live data

Needed continuously by people, applications and day-to-day operations.

Move to OSS

Recovery data

Clean copies, keys, configurations and evidence needed after disruption.

Move to OSS

Retained data

Kept for legal, regulatory or commercial reasons, but rarely accessed.

OSS priority

Crown-jewel data

Intellectual property, board records, client information and assets where compromise has serious consequences.

Why OSS comes down to one question

If it does not need to be connected, why leave it exposed?

Choose the data that matters most. Give it a protected offline state. Bring it online only when there is an authorised reason to use it.
