What's inside

Six chapters. Written for the people who carry the consequence.

No vendor jargon. Each chapter ends with a one-page summary you can hand to your board.

01

The board's data problem

Why connected storage has become the single most under-governed risk at executive level.

02

Sovereign data, in plain English

What ownership of your information actually means, and how to demonstrate it to clients and regulators.

03

Separation by design

How physical disconnection removes entire categories of breach from your operating picture.

04

Succession resilience

Continuity of access without continuity of exposure. Planning for people, not just systems.

05

The economics of a breach

Modelled UK costs, regulatory pressure, and the leadership decisions that change the curve.

06

Reporting to the board

A repeatable framework for evidencing protection in language your board already speaks.
