Secure portable storage

The DataLocker Sentry 5 is a 512 GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A flash drive built for regulated organisations. It delivers hardware-based AES 256-bit XTS encryption with mandatory password protection. FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification is pending and the drive is TAA compliant. Managed deployment requires a separate SafeConsole licence.

Rugged zinc casing

A solid zinc metal body is encapsulated in tamper-resistant epoxy and certified to MIL-STD-810F and IP68 standards. The drive is waterproof and designed to withstand harsh physical conditions. The USB Type A connector provides broad host compatibility without adapters. No moving parts mean silent operation and resistance to shock.

Replaces unencrypted drives

This drive upgrades from standard flash storage when data must meet CMMC, HIPAA, SOX, SOC2, ISO 27001, NIS2, CCPA or GDPR requirements. The jump is worth it when loss or theft of the device would trigger a reportable breach. It is not suited for users who only need basic file transfer without compliance mandates.
