Fortinet FortiWiFi 51G FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-FW51G-589-02-12)

Data visibility is one thing; actually stopping sensitive information from leaving the network is another. The FC-10-FW51G-589-02-12 activates FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention (DLP) on the FortiWiFi 51G for one year, adding network-layer content inspection that identifies and blocks sensitive data before it crosses the perimeter. License only, no hardware, delivered electronically to any country.

What this service covers

FortiGuard DLP on the FortiWiFi 51G gives the firewall the ability to inspect in-transit traffic for content patterns that signal data exfiltration risk:

• Data pattern matching: recognizes structured data types — credit card numbers, social insurance numbers, financial identifiers — as well as administrator-defined custom patterns and regular expressions.
• File type enforcement: detects and blocks transfer of specific file types over HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and other inspected protocols, regardless of filename or extension manipulation.
• Policy-driven responses: block, log, or quarantine matches based on DLP sensor and policy configuration, with granularity per user group, source, or destination.

This is network-layer DLP. Inspection occurs on traffic transiting the FortiWiFi 51G. Endpoint-level DLP is a separate capability and not covered by this subscription.

Who needs it

Organizations operating under compliance mandates requiring demonstrable data loss controls — PCI DSS, PIPEDA, HIPAA, or sector-specific frameworks — are the primary fit. It also suits branch deployments where acceptable-use policy needs to be backed by technical controls rather than procedural ones alone. Because DLP is not included in any FortiGuard bundle, this service is ordered as a specific add-on for environments where data protection is a distinct compliance requirement.

Activation and delivery

After purchase, the license registers to the target FortiWiFi 51G by serial number through the Fortinet Support portal. DLP inspection becomes active for the full twelve-month term once registration is applied. Nothing ships. A working FortiWiFi 51G with management access is required before activation.

DLP standalone vs. the broader stack

FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention is an a-la-carte service and is not included in the ATP, UTP, or Enterprise subscription bundles for the FortiWiFi 51G. If the device has no other active subscriptions, pairing this with a FortiCare Premium contract (FC-10-FW51G-247-02-12) provides a support baseline alongside DLP. For teams managing full threat coverage, the UTP bundle (FC-10-FW51G-950-02-12) covers IPS, AMP, web filtering, and application control in one line; DLP added separately addresses the compliance-specific layer on top.
