Fortinet FortiWiFi 31G Data Loss Prevention Service, 1-Year (FC-10-WF31G-589-02-12)

Preventing sensitive data from leaving the network is a different problem from blocking malware coming in. The FortiWiFi 31G 1-Year Data Loss Prevention Service (FC-10-WF31G-589-02-12) activates FortiGuard DLP on your FWF-31G for twelve months, inspecting outbound traffic for patterns that match sensitive data types and blocking transfers that violate policy. It is a standalone subscription license, no hardware included, delivered electronically to customers worldwide.

What DLP covers

FC-10-WF31G-589-02-12 enables FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention on your FortiWiFi 31G for 12 months:

• Sensitive data pattern matching inspects files and content crossing the firewall for defined data types, including PII (personally identifiable information), financial account numbers, healthcare identifiers, and custom patterns you define.
• Channel-level inspection monitors data in motion across web traffic, email, FTP transfers, and cloud uploads, applying DLP rules at the firewall before data leaves the perimeter.
• Policy-based response blocks, logs, or quarantines transfers that match a DLP rule, with per-rule actions so high-sensitivity data can be blocked outright while lower-risk patterns are flagged for review.
• FortiGuard predefined dictionaries provide ready-to-use patterns for common compliance requirements, covering data types relevant to regulations such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR, without needing to build detection rules from scratch.

Who needs this service

DLP is the right choice for organizations with data residency obligations, compliance mandates, or a demonstrated need to track and control sensitive data flows through a branch firewall. Healthcare branch sites, financial services offices, and retail environments handling cardholder data are common deployments for FortiWiFi 31G DLP. It is also useful for organizations monitoring insider threats or accidental data exposure at the network perimeter.

Activation and delivery

After purchase you receive a registration code tied to the serial number of your FortiWiFi 31G. No hardware ships. Applying the code in the Fortinet Support portal activates DLP on the appliance, and the device gains access to FortiGuard DLP dictionary updates for the full 12-month subscription term. An active FortiCare support contract on the FWF-31G is required for FortiGuard services to function.

DLP as a standalone service versus the Enterprise bundle

Data Loss Prevention is available in the FortiWiFi 31G Enterprise bundle, which also includes IPS, AMP, URL/DNS filtering, Attack Surface Security, and FortiCare Premium. The table below shows where DLP sits in the FortiGuard tier structure. If you need DLP alongside the broader security stack, the Enterprise bundle usually provides better value than building each service separately. Buy this standalone SKU when DLP is the specific capability to add to a device already licensed for other services.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner with FCP-certified staff, serving customers in Canada and worldwide. DLP can be a nuanced requirement, and the choice between a standalone service and the Enterprise bundle depends on what your FWF-31G is already licensed for. Reach out before you order if you would like to compare the two options. Licenses are issued electronically and checkout is fully secured.
