Seamless Data Protection With Self-Encrypting Drives

These advanced storage devices deliver powerful, built-in hardware encryption to safeguard your information from unauthorized access. Whether you’re storing personal files or sensitive business data, SEDs make it easy to keep data secure.

Self-encrypting drives are similar to other data storage devices like hard drives and SSDs, except they automatically encrypt all the data stored on them. Encryption happens directly on the drive itself without needing additional software. Also, because this process happens in the background, it won't slow down your computer.

Manage SEDs With User Friendly App

Unlock your SED with our Android or iOS app. Using a Bluetooth connection (FIPS compliant), the app safely and securely sends an encrypted PIN to the drive. After successfully entering the PIN or verifying biometric credentials through Touch ID or Face ID, the drive authenticates and grants access to the data or starts the system boot.
User features include:
  • Biometric unlock (Face ID, Touch ID etc.)
  • 2 Factor Authentication (optional)
  • Remote Wipe Data If Lost or Stolen
  • Password recovery, and more

Robust Control for IT Administators

Administrators have full control over the system. They can quickly block user access or delete data remotely if needed. This feature helps keep data safe in case it’s lost, stolen, or compromised. Comprehensive audit logs also keep track of who accessed the drives, when they were accessed, and where. Perfect for oversight and auditing.
Admin Features Include:
  • Manage from any browser, software free
  • Full SSO support
  • Set Multiple Geo-Fences with GPS precision
  • Unlimited Drives, Users and Admins
  • Remote wipe, remote unlock, change PIN and more

Great For Laptops

Seamlessly convert any laptop into a highly secure AES 256-bit hardware-encrypted vault by replacing its internal drive with a SecureDrive® SED, regardless of the operating system. With this solution, organizational administrators can remotely manage countless laptops without the need to install any additional software. Implement and enforce advanced security policies like blocking users, geo-fencing, time fencing, and remote wipe to ensure powerful protection and heightened security, even in cases of user compromise.

Use With Workstations or Desktops

Eliminate the hassle of additional software installations that hinder users from embracing virtual security protocols. By simply replacing the factory internal drive on a workstation to the SecureDrive® SED, your entire office and remote workforce can be seamlessly managed from anywhere in the world. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing all your organizational data is safeguarded by robust AES-256 bit hardware encryption. In the event of a compromise or breach, the system can be instantly blocked from user acces or wiped, ensuring maximum protection.

External Portable Enclosures

Turn your favorite external enclosure into a highly secure safe using military-grade encryption that complies with FIPS standards. With our drives, you can confidently protect your professional and personal data, knowing it remains inaccessible without your unique password or PIN. For ultimate peace of mind, the drive offers remote wiping capabilities in the event of loss or theft. Best of all, it requires no technical expertise—simply insert our SecureDrive SED into any enclosure, and you're set.

Effortless Security Implementation

These innovative SED drives meet FIPS 140-2/3 Level 3 compliance and are host/OS independent. Our SEDs don’t require any special drivers, software updates, BIOS configurations, or administrative setup, ensuring an easy installation process and quick adaptation by end users.

Our Self-encrypting drives feature XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption, with epoxy-coated internal components that prevent tampering. Designed to be hack-resistant, they automatically wipe data after ten consecutive unsuccessful password attempts.

SecureData SED Drive Advantages

There are two common methods for client-side data protection: software-based encryption, such as Windows BitLocker or solutions from ESET and McAfee, and OPAL-based Self-Encrypting Drives. While software-based encryption and OPAL-based SEDs present certain risks, managing OPAL SEDs can be particularly challenging. Notably, recent Apple platforms also include SED functionalities.

Why Choose Self Encrypting Drives?

One of the biggest benefits of SEDs is security. Accessing the SED requires user authentication, meaning, that if the drive is stolen or removed, the data on it remains protected. Another advantage is the ability to quickly and securely erase data. Instead of manually deleting files, you can wipe the drive remotely, making all the data unreadable.

SEDs also help businesses follow data privacy laws like GDPR and HIPAA, which require secure handling of personal information. SEDs offer a simple, fast, and reliable way to keep your data safe. They provide peace of mind by protecting against data breaches and making secure data management easier.

Don’t take chances with your data, get the reliability, speed, and security of a Self-Encrypting Drive today. Keep your information safe and enjoy peace of mind knowing your data is protected, no matter what.
