Fortinet FortiGate 31G Data Loss Prevention Service, 1-Year (FC-10-GT31G-589-02-12)

Data moves constantly across networks — customer records, financial reports, credentials, contracts. The FortiGate 31G 1-Year FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service (FC-10-GT31G-589-02-12) gives your firewall the intelligence to identify and block that data from leaving the network without authorization. If your team handles personally identifiable information, payment data, or proprietary IP, DLP is the layer that sits between normal traffic and a reportable incident.

What FortiGuard DLP Covers

Enabled by this subscription, FortiGuard DLP on the FortiGate 31G inspects traffic in transit across HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, and other protocols, scanning for patterns that match sensitive data types. Custom patterns and pre-built fingerprints let you define exactly what constitutes protected content. When a match is detected, the FortiGate can log, alert, block, or quarantine the traffic based on your policy. All inspection runs in hardware using Fortinet’s SPU processor, so enforcement does not bottleneck your 4 Gbps firewall throughput.

DLP works alongside other FortiGuard services on the same appliance. It complements Application Control for visibility into SaaS data flows and pairs with SSL inspection to catch exfiltration attempts hiding inside encrypted sessions.

Who Needs a Standalone DLP Subscription

Teams that need data inspection without committing to a full bundle. The standalone SKU makes sense if you already run a bundle that does not include DLP, or if you need to add DLP coverage to a device running only hardware without active FortiGuard subscriptions. It is also common in regulated industries — healthcare, finance, legal — where demonstrating data-in-transit controls is part of a compliance requirement such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or provincial privacy legislation.

How DLP Compares in the FortiGuard Bundles

FortiGuard DLP is included in both the UTP and Enterprise Protection bundles for the FortiGate 31G. It is not part of the ATP bundle. If you need DLP alongside IPS, antimalware, URL filtering, and FortiCare support, the UTP bundle delivers all of that in one SKU at a lower per-service cost than purchasing each individually. The table below shows where DLP sits across the three bundle tiers.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-GT31G-589-02-12 is a software license delivered electronically. After your order clears, you receive the license key and activation instructions — typical delivery is within 0–1 business days. Apply the key in the FortiGate dashboard or through the FortiCare license portal. No hardware ships; the DLP service activates immediately on your existing FortiGate 31G once the key is registered.
