Fortinet FortiGate 71G Data Loss Prevention Service, 1-Year (FC-10-GT71G-589-02-12)

Data egress is a compliance blind spot for organizations relying solely on perimeter threat prevention. The 1-Year FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention subscription (FC-10-GT71G-589-02-12) activates DLP inspection on the FortiGate 71G, letting administrators define policies to detect and block sensitive data from leaving the network, before a file transfer, email attachment, or web upload becomes a breach event.

What the DLP Service Does

FortiGuard DLP inspects outbound traffic on the FortiGate 71G against a library of built-in and custom data patterns. Built-in patterns include formats for credit card numbers, Social Security Numbers, financial account identifiers, and personal health information. Administrators can define custom patterns using regular expressions and file fingerprints. When a DLP sensor detects a match, the FortiGate logs the event, alerts operations staff, and can block or quarantine the offending transfer. DLP monitors HTTP, FTP, email protocols, and encrypted web traffic (with SSL inspection enabled), covering the most common channels for unintended data egress.

Who Buys the FortiGate 71G DLP Subscription

Regulated industries — healthcare, finance, legal, and retail — face compliance requirements that mandate controls on sensitive data destinations. Organizations collecting payment card data under PCI DSS scope need DLP to demonstrate that card numbers cannot traverse the firewall without policy enforcement. Small offices handling client confidential data can use DLP to prevent accidental or deliberate uploads of protected files to personal cloud storage services. The FortiGate 71G’s compact size suits branch locations and remote offices where a dedicated DLP appliance is not practical.

Activation and Delivery

The license key ships electronically within 0 to 1 business days to any country. Register it in FortiCare and associate it with the FortiGate 71G serial number. Once registered, create DLP sensors in FortiOS that define the data patterns and actions, then apply those sensors to security policies. No hardware modifications are required; the DLP engine runs inline on the FortiGate 71G’s traffic processing pipeline.

DLP Standalone vs. the Enterprise Bundle

FortiGuard DLP is available within the Enterprise subscription bundle alongside IPS, antivirus, URL filtering, application control, and AI-based malware prevention. The table below shows where DLP sits within the three FortiGuard bundle tiers and what each tier provides.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

Organizations that already have IPS or antivirus active on the FortiGate 71G can add DLP as a targeted complement to address data egress specifically, without replacing their existing service configuration. DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner and MSSP that handles Fortinet licensing for any country. Keys are delivered electronically within one business day, and the team can provide quotes for upgrading to the Enterprise bundle if comprehensive FortiGuard coverage is the eventual goal.
