Firevault — dedicated Offline Secure Storage® for your most valuable data

Health and charity

One shared database, 1,500 charities. An HIV charity's health records stolen through its supplier.

People supported by George House Trust in Manchester have been told sensitive health information may have been stolen after a breach at Beacon, the database platform used by more than a thousand UK charities. The records included addresses, contact details and case notes about each person's engagement with the charity.

Firevault view

The charity chose a sensible sector platform, and the platform's exposure became its service users' health disclosure. Offline Secure Storage® keeps historical case records and special category data physically disconnected, so an intrusion at a shared supplier has nothing to enumerate and nothing to export.

1,500Charities potentially exposed through a single connected database platform.

Data breaches affect everyone, including you

Data breaches do not discriminate. Whether you are an individual, a professional or running a business, the consequences are real, measurable and growing every year.

“Organisations that recover fastest from ransomware are those that kept offline copies of their critical data.”

02The OSS difference

No other data storage platform gives you physical control.

Most security controls decide who can use a connection. Firevault controls whether the connection exists.

Firevault Offline Secure Storage 2TB, 4TB and 8TB physical drives
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.

Exposed or protected

See the difference a disconnection makes.

Connected storage keeps a live route to your data, so every cyber attack, human error, network gap and weak setup has a path in. An OSS instance removes the route entirely, so the same attempts land on nothing.

03Offline Secure Storage® (#OSS)

Not everything should be offline. The right data should be.

Offline Secure Storage® moves selected data and digital assets beyond the live network, the cloud tenancy and the connected backup chain. It stays on dedicated hardware, physically disconnected at the hardware level until approved access is required.

#OSS complements, it does not replace

Cloud storageBackup and recoveryEndpoint protectionIdentity and accessSecurity monitoring

Your live estate keeps doing its job. #OSS takes crown-jewel data out of reach of everything that reaches it, protecting the information those systems do not need to keep continuously reachable.

Choose the right stateKeep active data available. Move high-consequence data beyond reach.

Start with the information that would be hardest to rebuild, explain or replace if the live environment were compromised.

What should be secured offline?
Live data

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

Keep connected
Recovery data

Clean copies, recovery keys, configurations and the evidence needed after disruption or ransomware.

Better disconnected
Retained data

Kept for legal, regulatory, operational or commercial reasons, but accessed infrequently.

Better disconnected
Crown-jewel data

Intellectual property, board records and client information that would cause serious damage if exposed or lost.

04How to choose what should be held physically offline

Defined by the
responsibility you carry.

The same physical control model protects very different things: a private digital life, the information that creates a firm’s value, or the records that must survive compromise of the wider environment.
