Board minutes, strategy papers, and financial forecasts represent the most sensitive decisions an organisation makes. Yet they are routinely shared via email and stored in cloud drives accessible to IT administrators. A single compromised email account can expose an entire year of board deliberations, moving share prices and triggering FCA investigations. 02 How it plays out ## The scenario, and what physical disconnection changes. One realistic sequence of events, then the controls that break it. Scenario A listed company's corporate email is breached. The attacker accesses the Company Secretary's mailbox containing two years of board packs, including pre-announcement financial results, acquisition strategies, and executive compensation details. The leaked papers are used for insider trading before the breach is even detected. Protection - Board papers stored in physically disconnected, tamper-evident storage, disconnected from any network - Director-level access controls with full audit trail for every document interaction - Long-term retention with guaranteed data integrity for Companies Act compliance - Secure distribution and retrieval workflow designed for board meeting cycles 03 The outcome ## Board paper integrity preserved 100% With board records stored offline in Firevault OSS, organisations eliminate the risk of remote access to their most sensitive governance documents. Even if corporate email or cloud systems are compromised, board papers remain physically disconnected and provably intact. Hardware The data sits on Firevault hardware, not a shared cloud tenancy. Disconnect Offline by default. No standing network path in or out. Command Access opens on your instruction, identity checked and logged. Location Held in a Firevault Bunker. Firevault provisions the location unless you request one in writing. 04 Keep exploring ## More ways organisations use #OSS. Every use case follows the same four physical principles, applied to different data.
