Fortinet FortiGate 40F Data Loss Prevention Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0040F-589-02-12)

Data loss prevention becomes relevant the moment sensitive information — customer PII, financial records, health data — moves across a network that a FortiGate 40F protects. The 1-Year FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service (FC-10-0040F-589-02-12) activates the DLP engine on the FortiGate 40F, enabling inline inspection and blocking of data transfers that match configured policies across both web and email traffic.

What the DLP Service Covers

The FortiGuard DLP subscription enables the FortiGate 40F’s data loss prevention engine with:

• Pattern-based data detection — identifies sensitive data patterns including credit card numbers, SINs/SSNs, health information, and custom regex patterns you define
• File type and size controls — blocks or logs transfers of specific file categories (spreadsheets, databases, archives) over HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, and other inspected protocols
• Network-layer enforcement — operates inline without requiring endpoint agents; data is inspected as it transits the FortiGate
• Policy-based actions — configurable per-policy to block, log, or alert on matched traffic with granular controls per user group

DLP Service vs. the FortiGuard Bundles

Network DLP is included in the Enterprise Protection bundle but not in ATP or UTP. This standalone service adds DLP to the FortiGate 40F without requiring an upgrade to the full Enterprise bundle:

If your FortiGate 40F already runs a UTP subscription but your compliance requirements specifically call for network DLP, this service adds exactly that capability without restarting a full Enterprise bundle purchase cycle mid-term.

Who Needs This Service

The typical buyer has compliance or data governance obligations — PCI DSS, PIPEDA, HIPAA, SOC 2 — that require demonstrable network-layer data controls. The FortiGate 40F sits at a branch or small office perimeter, and the DLP service turns it into an enforcement point that can block unauthorized data exfiltration without adding another appliance to the stack. It is also used by MSPs who bill DLP coverage as a separate line item and need to activate it independently of the client’s FortiGuard bundle tier.
