Fortinet FortiGate 71G-PoE FortiGuard DLP Service, 1-Year (FC-10-G71GP-589-02-12)

Sensitive data that leaves the network uninspected can create regulatory exposure faster than a perimeter breach. The 1-Year FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention subscription (FC-10-G71GP-589-02-12) enables the FortiGate 71G-PoE to inspect outbound and internal traffic flows for structured sensitive data, applying policy-based controls at the gateway before content reaches external destinations.

What the DLP Service Covers

FortiGuard DLP on the FortiGate 71G-PoE uses pattern-based detection and document fingerprinting to identify sensitive content in transit. Pattern matching identifies structured data types such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, Canadian SIN numbers, health information, and custom regular-expression patterns defined by the administrator. Document fingerprinting calculates hash signatures from reference documents and flags traffic that contains content matching those signatures, catching partial extracts and reformatted versions of sensitive source material. Inspection applies across HTTP, HTTPS (with SSL inspection), email protocols (SMTP, IMAP, POP3), and FTP. Blocked transfers are logged with full context for compliance reporting and incident review.

Who Buys This Subscription

Organizations subject to PCI DSS, PIPEDA, HIPAA, or GDPR have regulatory obligations to demonstrate that sensitive data is controlled at the perimeter. The FortiGate 71G-PoE in a branch or edge role handles traffic from internal endpoints to cloud services, SaaS applications, and email servers, which are the exact flows where data exfiltration occurs. DLP on the gateway provides a control point for that traffic without requiring agent deployment on individual endpoints. The 1-year term is appropriate for a new deployment or an annual renewal tied to an existing compliance audit cycle.

Activation and Delivery

The license key is delivered electronically within 0 to 1 business days to any country. Activate it through FortiCare, link it to the FortiGate 71G-PoE’s serial number, and configure DLP sensors in FortiOS by defining data patterns and document fingerprints, then attaching the sensor to firewall policies governing outbound or internal flows. SSL deep inspection must be enabled on relevant policies for HTTPS traffic inspection to function. No hardware modification is required.

DLP Standalone vs. Buying a Full Bundle

FortiGuard DLP is available as a standalone add-on service and is also included in the Enterprise bundle subscription. Organizations with a specific regulatory driver for data exfiltration control can deploy DLP independently without purchasing the full Enterprise stack. If the environment already has IPS, URL filtering, or AMP deployed as separate subscriptions, comparing the total cost against the Enterprise bundle may reveal a cost-efficient upgrade path. DataCenter360.ca can assist with that review.
