OSS, Compliance & Risk

DORA Compliance with Offline Secure Storage

The Digital Operational Resilience Act requires financial entities to withstand ICT disruptions. Offline Secure Storage (OSS) provides physical resilience.

We Think This Is Hard to Ignore

DORA mandates that financial entities maintain operational resilience independent of third-party ICT providers. The Capita breach demonstrated what happens when critical financial data depends entirely on connected infrastructure. At Firevault, gold copies live on hardware with no network connection, because operational recovery requires data that was never part of the incident.

The Gap

DORA raises the bar for financial resilience.

ICT Risk Management

Financial entities must identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from ICT disruptions.

Third-Party Risk

DORA mandates oversight of critical ICT third-party providers.

Testing Requirements

Advanced threat-led penetration testing is required for significant entities.

The Reality

DORA-relevant failures are already happening.

Capita: £14M Fine, Financial Services Processor Breached

Capita processes pension and financial data for major UK institutions. The ICO fined the company £14 million after hackers accessed data of over 6 million people. Under DORA, financial clients would face direct regulatory consequences.

How OSS Maps

Physical resilience for financial services.

Offline Secure Storage (OSS) provides physically disconnected infrastructure that satisfies DORA's resilience requirements.

  • Critical financial data in physically disconnected storage
  • Independent of third-party ICT providers
  • Rapid recovery from physically intact gold copies
  • Full audit trail for regulatory reporting

Take Critical Financial Data Off ICT Infrastructure

Step 1 of 3

Critical financial data is taken off ICT infrastructure and written to physically disconnected RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. Operational data is preserved independently of third-party ICT providers.
