The Opportunity

Problem

High-profile UK politicians like Nigel Farage have their phones compromised by hostile state-linked actors, resulting in leaks of sensitive financial data while failing to report the breach themselves.

Solution

PoliVault gives high-profile UK politicians an encrypted fortress for all sensitive donor financial records. Files are encrypted in the browser before they ever touch our servers. If phone compromise patterns are detected, the system auto-locks data and generates the mandatory ICO breach report so politicians no longer have to remember to self-report.

Target Audience

High-profile UK politicians and political party leaders handling sensitive donor information

Differentiator

Only vault with pre-loaded UK state-actor TTPs and one-click regulatory breach filing built exclusively for MPs and party leaders
