Governance
Record ownership, approval thresholds, exception handling, and oversight separately from the secret itself.
Approval-led continuity
Offline recovery controls built for personnel and policy change.
Physical media is only useful when authorized teams can inspect, recover, and update it through a documented treasury process.
Continuity
Plan for facility loss, staff departure, leave, acquisition, and technology migration before an emergency.
Rehearsal
Test instructions, roles, timing, and media legibility using non-production material on a scheduled basis.
A practical starting point
Choose simplicity unless policy requires distribution.
The Core Steel Plate supports a direct controlled record. The Pro Vault fits only when a distributed model is approved and tested.
Treasury review prompts
- Who authorizes backup creation?
