Fortinet FortiGate 201F FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F201F-589-02-12)

Sensitive data crossing your network — financial records, customer PII, health information — can leave through channels that standard firewall rules never examine. The FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service for the FortiGate 201F adds a continuously updated pattern-matching engine into the firewall inspection path, scanning traffic in real time and blocking exfiltration events before they clear the perimeter. For organizations under compliance pressure, this is the specific service that lets the FortiGate 201F actively enforce data-in-transit policies rather than simply logging what passed.

What the DLP Service Covers

FC-10-F201F-589-02-12 keeps the FortiGate 201F’s DLP signature database current for one year. With an active subscription, FortiOS DLP profiles can inspect and control:

• Outbound and inbound traffic over HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, IMAP, and POP3
• Predefined patterns for credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, and government IDs
• Custom keyword lists and document fingerprints created in DLP profiles
• File types — block or log transfers of specific file extensions crossing the firewall

Without an active subscription, the FortiGuard dictionary database stops receiving updates. New data types and regulatory patterns added by FortiGuard Labs will not reach the device. Full DLP feature availability on the 201F requires FortiOS 7.4.1 or later.

Who Needs This License

This license suits organizations that have already deployed the FortiGate 201F and need to satisfy a specific data compliance requirement without restructuring their entire subscription. Common cases include:

• PCI DSS environments that must demonstrate active network DLP as part of a cardholder data scope review
• Healthcare organizations managing PHI movement across network zones under HIPAA
• Finance teams restricting which data types can leave the corporate network via web or email
• IT teams supporting post-acquisition integrations where data boundary enforcement is required before a full security audit

If your team already runs FortiGuard IPS and antimalware on the 201F but has not addressed the data exfiltration layer, this standalone license closes that gap directly.

DLP and the FortiGuard Bundle Tiers

FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention is included only in the Enterprise Protection bundle. The UTP bundle covers network and web security. The ATP bundle covers core malware and intrusion prevention. Neither includes DLP. The table below shows which services each tier covers:

Activation and Delivery

This is a software subscription delivered by email. After your order clears, DataCenter360.ca sends the activation key within 0 to 1 business days. You register it in your FortiGate 201F’s management interface under System, then FortiGuard. No hardware is involved, and no freight is required. The 12-month term starts from the date you activate the license in Fortinet’s support portal.

À La Carte or the Enterprise Bundle?

Buying DLP as a standalone license makes sense when you need one specific compliance control and your other FortiGuard subscriptions are already in place and active. The consideration: à la carte licenses have separate renewal cycles and separate budget approvals. If your team is reviewing whether to consolidate, the FortiGate 201F Enterprise bundle (FC-10-F201F-809-02-12) includes DLP alongside IPS, antimalware, URL and DNS filtering, anti-spam, attack surface security, and FortiCare Premium all in a single SKU with one annual renewal. For many 201F deployments handling sensitive data end to end, the total per-service cost of the Enterprise bundle is lower than assembling the same coverage from individual licenses.
