Board Records Physically Protected From Cyber Threats

£4.5MAverage cost of a governance data breach

The Problem

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.

The 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.

The Protection

Board papers stored in physically disconnected, tamper-evident storage, unreachable via 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

The Outcome

100%: Board paper integrity preserved

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 unreachable and provably intact.
