Career Archive

A Career Worth Keeping. Properly Kept.

Cloud drives leak. Old employers vanish. References get lost. A Firevault Career Archive holds the contracts, references, awards and evidence that prove your career, physically disconnected and retrievable for life.

Why OSS

Career Archive

Your most sensitive data deserves protection that goes beyond software. Firevault provides the only storage that is physically unreachable by design.

Why Cloud Career Records Fail

Your career evidence outlives every employer that issued it.

Employers Disappear

Companies fold, get acquired, archive HR systems and lose records. The further back the role, the harder it becomes to prove.

Personal Cloud Risk

CVs, contracts and reference letters often live in personal email accounts and cloud drives, ripe for credential-stuffing and silent compromise.

Provenance Gaps

Without timestamped, tamper-evident originals, awards and references can be questioned by employers, regulators and tribunals.

The Reality

This is already happening to professional records.

Capita: £14M Fine, Employee and HR Data of Millions Exposed

Capita holds HR, payroll, and employment records for hundreds of organisations. The ICO fined the company £14 million after hackers accessed personal data spanning career and employment documentation.

M&S: Employee and Operational Data Encrypted by DragonForce

Ransomware attackers encrypted core M&S systems including employee records and operational data, demonstrating how career and employment records are targeted alongside business data.

Reuters, 2025

The Scenario

A career rewritten by missing evidence.

A senior leader is challenged on a contested role from fifteen years ago during a board appointment. The employer no longer exists and his cloud drive lost the contract folder during a provider migration. The appointment is withdrawn pending verification. With a Firevault Career Archive, the original signed contract, references and award letters would have been retrieved in minutes.

"Your career deserves a record that outlasts the companies you worked for."

The OSS Career Archive

Hold the proof of your career offline. Retrieve it when it matters.

Your Career Archive holds employment contracts, references, awards, performance records and case evidence inside a physically disconnected vault. Retrievable on demand, tamper-evident, never dependent on an employer's surviving systems.

  • Offline Secure Storage for contracts, references and award evidence, offline by default and reachable per session
  • Tamper-evident custody for portfolios, case studies and IP
  • Authorised retrieval for new roles, tribunals and disputes
  • Identity-locked access, your career, your release

Take Career Records Off HR Systems

Step 1 of 3

Employment contracts, references, awards, and performance records are taken off HR systems and personal cloud drives and written to physically disconnected RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. No employer dependency. No credential-stuffing risk.
