SKU CH-QKCQ-RDSN0

Hardware-encrypted USB flash drive with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 pending certification and rugged zinc casing

  • FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (pending) hardware encryption protects data
  • AES 256-bit XTS mode encryption secures every file
  • MIL-STD-810F and IP68 certified zinc casing survives harsh conditions
  • TAA-compliant NATO-trusted supply chain meets strict regulatory mandates
  • Zero-touch SafeConsole deployment streamlines enterprise rollout

Encrypted USB for regulated environments

The IRONKEY Sentry 5 is a hardware-encrypted flash drive built for organisations that must meet FIPS 140-3 Level 3 requirements. It uses AES 256-bit XTS mode encryption and mandatory password protection to secure data at rest. The drive is TAA-compliant and sourced from a NATO-trusted supply chain. It targets compliance frameworks such as CMMC, HIPAA, SOX, SOC2, ISO 27001, NIS2, CCPA and GDPR.

Rugged casing fits standard USB-A ports

The drive connects via a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A interface and requires no special cables or adapters. Its solid zinc metal casing is encapsulated in tamper-resistant epoxy and certified to MIL-STD-810F and IP68 for extreme durability. This construction protects the drive in harsh field conditions without changing how it plugs into a host system. Zero-touch deployment options are available through professional services to simplify large-scale rollouts.

SafeConsole licence enables central management

The hardware encryption functions independently, but managed features require a separate SafeConsole Device Control licence. With that licence, administrators can automate inventory tracking, enforce security policies and streamline audit processes across the fleet. Without the licence the drive remains a standalone encrypted storage device with password protection. Professional services can also assist with predeployment configuration to reduce setup time.
