Fortinet FortiGate 61F Secure RMA Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0061F-301-02-12)

Regulated environments don’t just need fast hardware replacements — they need proof the old device was destroyed. FC-10-0061F-301-02-12 adds 1-year Secure RMA to your FortiGate 61F, covering the full chain from hardware failure to certified data destruction.

What Secure RMA Covers for the FortiGate 61F

Standard FortiCare RMA returns a failed unit to Fortinet, which refurbishes or destroys it without providing documentation. Secure RMA adds certified data destruction and a destruction certificate — critical for organizations subject to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX, or internal data-handling policies where hardware leaving a facility needs a verified audit trail.

With FC-10-0061F-301-02-12, Fortinet ships an advanced replacement to your location. The failed unit is returned, processed through a certified destruction workflow, and you receive documentation confirming the device was destroyed. Coverage runs for 1 year from the subscription start date.

Who Needs Secure RMA

Secure RMA is built for:

• Healthcare, financial, and government organizations with data retention and destruction policies
• Retail and hospitality environments subject to PCI-DSS that log cardholder data on firewall hardware
• Any site where leaving a failed firewall unaccounted for creates a compliance gap
• IT managers who need a destruction certificate for annual audits

If your firewall handles encrypted traffic and sits in a regulated environment, standard RMA isn’t enough — Secure RMA closes the gap.

Secure RMA vs. a Subscription Bundle

Secure RMA is a standalone data-destruction add-on — it does not include FortiGuard security services, IPS, or threat intelligence. If you also need FortiGuard coverage, look at the FortiGate 61F UTP or Enterprise subscription bundles, which combine FortiGuard services with FortiCare support (standard RMA, not secure). Add Secure RMA on top for full compliance coverage.
