How Firevault Stops This

Create evidence of control the ICO cannot ignore.

Board papers, governance records, and sensitive data are removed from shared drives, email threads, and cloud platforms, and placed on dedicated RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. Every access session is identity-verified and logged: who accessed what, when, and for how long. When the session ends, the drives disconnect physically. That audit trail is the answer to 'What appropriate technical measures did you take?' It is not a policy document. It is evidence.

• Appropriate technical measures, sensitive data is removed from connected systems and placed on hardware with no network connection. This is the strongest measure a director can demonstrate
• Documented evidence of control, every access session is identity-verified and logged. The ICO does not accept policies. They accept proof that data was protected
• Board papers removed from shared drives, no longer sitting in email inboxes, collaboration tools, or file shares where a breach exposes them
• Physical disconnection between sessions, regulatory evidence that data was architecturally unreachable, not just protected by a password
