DIGISTOR CITADEL C-PBA M.2 1 TB PCI Express 3.0 NVMe

Citadel™ C Series:
Security Made Easy
CSfC- and NIAP-listed protection against unauthorized access to laptops, desktops, and servers

Fortify Your Security with Pre-Boot Authentication
With Citadel C Series’ pre-boot authentication (PBA), a user must provide trusted credentials to the SSD itself before the computer can detect the presence of the SSD, let alone boot up. This prevents unauthorized users from gaining access to the encrypted drive and its data–even if the SSD is removed.
Securing Data at Rest (DAR) in a zero-trust architecture prevents cyberattacks and keeps information safe. Use Citadel C Series self-encrypting drives (SEDs)—powered by Cigent®—to protect sensitive data in laptops, desktops, and other endpoint devices.

Hardware is more secure than software
The PBA cannot be disabled by users or malware from within an operating system

Meet rigorous security standards
FIPS versions are validated by NIST and meet requirements for CSfC and NIAP Common Criteria

Access data at full speed, unlike Bitlocker
Bitlocker can rob up to 45 percent of your SSD’s speed as it forces the CPU to encrypt and decrypt everything

Adversaries can't steal what they can't see
Attackers can’t remove data from stolen devices or access it without proper credentials

Invisible data
Complete disk encryption protected by non-recoverable key

Pre-boot authentication (PBA):
Prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and applications

Multifactor authentication (MFA):
Requires more than one authentication for access. Multiple authentication methods include password,
CAC/PIV, smartcard, and PIV-supported Yubikey

FIPS validated + CSfC-listed + NIAP-listed:
Constitutes a complete CSfC layer in a two-layer solution
Address critical requirements for data governance and privacy programs: CMMC, HIPAA, GDPR, GLBA, PCI-DSS, and CCPA

TAA compliant:
Ensures you can meet regulatory requirements, maintain data security, and support ethical practices in technology procurement
