A British cybersecurity startup has launched Firevault, a groundbreaking secure offline storage solution that aims to protect sensitive data and critical assets. Emphasizing offline rather than online security, Firevault isolates data from the internet to prevent potential cyber threats. This innovative approach is designed to combat increasingly common attacks like ransomware and data theft.
Co-Founder Mark Fermor expressed concerns about always-connected systems, stating, “Systems that are always connected pose risks. Firevault changes this approach. We prioritize taking critical data offline, following a Disconnect to Protect strategy.” David Bailey, another Co-Founder, added, “Stakeholders such as boards, regulators, and insurers seek assurance. Firevault provides evidence, not just promises. When data is offline, it becomes inaccessible to attackers.”
The global significance of such a solution is underscored by alarming cybercrime forecasts—costs are expected to hit $11 trillion by 2025. Frequent data breaches and ransomware attacks disrupt sectors including healthcare, finance, and logistics. In the UK, the average data breach costs £3.2 million, and personal fines for directors can reach up to £500,000 under Information Commissioner’s Office regulations.
Firevault’s offerings include three key components. The Vault is an offline digital storage resembling a modern safe deposit box, specifically for executives and high-net-worth individuals. It secures access to a single verified owner and is available in configurations from 2 to 8 TB with a monthly fee starting at £360. Backup Vault and Vault Buddy strengthen business continuity and resilience. The Storage solution provides a high-grade offline system aimed at safeguarding intellectual property and critical data, forming the “0” layer in the 3-2-1-0 storage model. Finally, the Platform (FV-PaaS) is tailored for governmental and critical infrastructure needs, supporting secure multi-location deployments.
Integration with widely recognized cybersecurity frameworks and standards, like NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK, Zero Trust, and ISO/IEC 27001, ensures Firevault’s relevance in global security initiatives. Its compliance alignment helps organizations meet international standards, while board-level assurance reduces liability risks.
Available worldwide, Firevault facilitates tailored onboarding for individuals, businesses, and governments, providing national-grade security across jurisdictions. The company is actively building partnerships with resellers, integrators, and managed service providers across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific to enhance global reach. Live demonstrations of Firevault’s capabilities are offered upon request.
Participating in notable events such as Connected Britain 2025 and the International Cyber Expo 2025 in London showcases Firevault’s commitment to advancing cybersecurity. Providing a secure, offline-first storage solution, Firevault addresses an essential gap in modern data protection strategies by cutting off one of the main avenues for cyberattacks.
