OSS® (#OSS) for generational wealthData protection and storage
Held for the next generation.
Ownership records, wills, trusts, investment evidence, property documents and the instructions somebody else will eventually need. Wealth that cannot be found is wealth that is lost.

A simple succession question
If the family had to act tomorrow, would they know what exists and where to find it?
Estates are rarely lost to fraud alone. They are lost to information nobody could locate in time. The problem is not only hackers. It is that records meant to last decades sit on services built for months.
- A path that does not exist cannot be used
While the vault is disconnected there is no login for anybody, including an attacker, to compromise.
- Accounts expire, hardware does not
Provider changes, lapsed billing and closed services are a bigger long-term risk than intrusion.
- Succession has to be designed
Somebody must be able to reach these records later, through a defined route rather than a guessed password.
- Ownership is the point
Records that matter across generations should not sit inside somebody else’s platform terms.
- Assets are never claimed.
Scenario 1
- The will version is unclear.
Scenario 2
- Digital assets are unrecoverable.
Scenario 3
- Advisers cannot act.
Scenario 4
See the difference
The same stolen login. Two places to keep your records.
Choose a state to see what an intruder can reach.
Contracts, accounts and recovery copies share one connected estate. One stolen login, one supplier or one mistake reaches all of it.
The records you could not recreate sit on dedicated hardware with no standing network path. Access begins outside the normal network, on an authorised out-of-band request, for a time-bound session.
The principle
Select. Secure. Disconnect. Access when required.
Wills, deeds, portfolio records and family history are usually spread across accounts that depend on a subscription, a password and a provider staying in business.
- Your important data
- Your network
- Security tools
- Still reachable
- Stolen, locked or changed
What families protect

First-pass inventory
Get the wealth record in order.
Start with what already exists. The aim is one protected place for the records that prove ownership.
- Ownership
- Estate and trusts
- Property
- Investments
- Digital assets
- Instructions
- Asset schedules
- Company shareholdings
- Valuables and collections
What belongs offline
Wealth records do not need to stay online.
Everyday and connected
- Current account activity
- Live trading platforms
- Routine correspondence
- Everyday tax administration
- Active adviser exchanges
- Signed wills and trust deeds
- Title deeds and ownership evidence
- Asset schedules
- Digital asset recovery records
Who can reach it
Make sure the right person can act at the right time.
Succession planning needs clear ownership today, and controlled sharing when an adviser needs a document. Ownership, sharing and succession are different things.
- Verified owner
- Family member
- Solicitor or trustee
- Vault Buddy
- Everyday access stays with the verified owner rather than a shared family login.
One vault per user
- Give a solicitor, trustee or family member controlled access to selected records.
Share a document when needed
- A nominated succession route so the estate record is available when the family needs it.

Storage
Why Firevault
Physics, not promises.
Every Offline Secure Storage® instance is built on the same four physical principles.
- 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 ownership
Each Offline Secure Storage instance is allocated to a specific customer, with dedicated physical capacity and clearly defined ownership. Your data is not pooled, commingled or held within a shared storage estate.
- Physical control
Access begins outside the normal network path. An authorised out-of-band command, such as SMS, controls the physical Layer 1 connection to your #OSS instance. When access is not required, that network path is physically disconnected.
- Physical security
Your #OSS hardware is housed in carefully selected, professionally managed data centres with layered physical security, resilient power and environmental controls. Access is tightly controlled using three-factor authentication, including biometric identification, supported by 24/7 monitoring, restricted access zones and a complete audit trail.
Guidance
Long-term digital preservation guidance points to owned, separated copies.
Archival and national guidance both treat provider dependency and single-copy storage as the main causes of permanent loss.
- Manage custody actively
The National Archives
- Keep an offline copy
NCSC
- Provider dependency is a risk
