Frequently Asked Questions

The DataLocker DL4 FE is a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (pending certification) certified device, which means it complies with theThe Highest Security Standard for Hardware Encryption. It utilizes AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption, which is more secure than software-based encryption. The DL4 FE also incorporates SafeConsole functionality, enabling administrators to remotely perform operations such as managing, locking, erasing, and enforcing security policies on the drive.

The DL4 FE is available in a variety of capacities ranging from 1TB to 15.3TB, making it suitable for a wide range of needs from small data transfers to large-scale, high-capacity data storage.

Yes, the DL4 FE is compliant with major regulatory standards including HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2, PCI-DSS, and CMMC. its FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3 certifications ensure that this encrypted external hard drive meets the highest security requirements for protecting sensitive data.

No. The DL4 FE is a plug-and-play device, which means it does not require any software installation to encrypt or decrypt data. All encryption, management and authentication processes take place inside the device, right out of the box.

SafeConsole adds powerful remote management capabilities to the DL4 FE. It allows administrators to remotely lock or erase devices, enforce passwords and security policies, monitor device usage through audit logs, and track the location of devices. This makes the DL4 FE encrypted external hard drive ideal for businesses and industries that require centralized control of data storage.

If the DL4 FE is lost or stolen, administrators can use SafeConsole to remotely lock or erase the device, ensuring the security of sensitive data. The device also features SilentKill™, which allows users to enter a special code to destroy all data on the drive in case of emergency, effectively preventing unauthorized access to encrypted data.

The DL4 FE has built-in anti-tamper hardware that allows administrators to configure the device to automatically destroy data after multiple failed password attempts to prevent brute force attacks. Meanwhile, the random keyboard layout on the touchscreen further enhances the security of the device by preventing fingerprint analysis and duplicate input modes.

Yes, if the user forgets the password, the administrator can use the administrator password to log in to the device to recover the data. However, the user must reset the password the next time they log in to ensure that the encrypted external hard disk remains secure. If the device is managed by SafeConsole, the administrator can reset the password for the user remotely.

Yes, with SafeConsole, the DL4 FE can enable the onboard anti-malware scanning feature, which automatically scans files and quarantines or destroys any malware based on policy settings. This ensures that your data is protected from ransomware and malware attacks. The device can also be unlocked in read-only mode for write protection.

Centralized management via SafeConsole® remote

SafeConsole (sold separately) provides powerful centralized management of DL4 FE encrypted external hard drives:

Security Policy Enforcement

Apply a uniform organization-wide policy to monitor usage and set device-level rules for data security.

Remote Device Control

Remotely deactivate, reset, or wipe data in the event of device loss or intrusion to ensure data integrity.

Compliance Integration

External asset tags match internal serial numbers for easy integration with data leakage prevention, asset management and other security platforms.

Two-factor authentication

Mandatory server connection or computer credentials are required as an additional authentication layer to enhance access security.
