Fortinet FortiGate 3001F Secure RMA Service, 5-Year (FC-10-F3K1F-301-02-60)

When the FortiGate 3001F is deployed at the network core of a government agency, defense contractor, or financial institution, a failed appliance cannot simply be boxed and shipped back. Configuration data, VPN keys, and policy sets remain on the device. FC-10-F3K1F-301-02-60 resolves that compliance problem by attaching certified Secure RMA coverage to the 3001F for a full five-year term.

What Secure RMA Covers

Secure RMA adds a data sanitization step that standard FortiCare hardware replacement does not include. When a FortiGate 3001F fails under this subscription, Fortinet ships a replacement unit first — advance replacement, so operations are not waiting for a return receipt. Before the defective appliance leaves the facility, it undergoes certified secure storage sanitization to recognized destruction standards. A certificate of data destruction is issued for audit and compliance records.

• Advance hardware replacement — replacement dispatched before the failed unit is returned
• Certified secure sanitization of defective hardware storage prior to return shipment
• Certificate of data destruction for compliance documentation
• 5-year term aligned with long-cycle infrastructure planning for large-enterprise platforms

Who Needs Secure RMA

Secure RMA exists specifically for environments where standard return logistics create a data-handling risk. Organizations that typically require it include:

• Federal and provincial government agencies subject to data destruction mandates
• Defense contractors operating under CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, or equivalent frameworks
• Financial institutions managing PCI-DSS or SOX hardware disposal obligations
• Healthcare networks with HIPAA-compliant disposal requirements for network appliances

FortiCare Support Levels and Secure RMA
