inviolate
Never been breached
Inviolate means untouched, unharmed, or free from violation.
Something inviolate has been kept pure, intact, or sacred despite potential threats: The tomb remained inviolate for three thousand years.
The word often carries a sense of something that should not or cannot be disturbed: Her private life was inviolate.
It differs from inviolable, which means impossible to violate; inviolate describes what has in fact not been violated.
