Unbreakable Hardware-Based Encryption

Unlike traditional software encryption tools, Opal Lock uses TCG (Trusted Computing Group) Opal standard hardware-based encryption that’s built directly into your storage drive. This form of encryption is:

  • More secure, because it operates below the operating system level
  • More reliable, as it can’t be tampered with or bypassed
  • Faster, since it doesn’t drain system resources like software encryption does

 

Once your drive is locked with Opal Lock, your data is inaccessible without the correct password even if the drive is physically removed or stolen.

User-Friendly Interface

You don’t need to be a security expert to use Opal Lock. Designed for both tech professionals and everyday users, Opal Lock makes encrypted drive management simple. It:

  • Automatically detects compatible drives (both internal and external)
  • Guides you through password setup and USB recovery drive creation
  • Provides clear status updates and actionable options

 

If your drive has a Physical Security ID (PSID), Opal Lock will handle the rest.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Whether you’re managing a single laptop or an entire fleet of systems, Opal Lock is built for enterprise-level protection. It:

  • Supports both Windows 10/11 and Windows Server 2019/2022
  • Is compatible with HDDs and SSDs, including SATA, NVMe, and USB interfaces
  • Enables organizations to enforce data security policies without complexity

 

Plus, if your system drive is ever locked out due to misconfiguration, Opal Lock’s Recovery USB lets you regain access without compromising security.

Comprehensive Control Over Your Encrypted Drives

Opal Lock gives you complete visibility and command over your Opal SEDs. It allows you to:

  • Set and manage strong drive passwords
  • Monitor drive lock status in real time
  • Generate sanitization certificates for compliance or drive disposal
  • Perform cryptographic erases to securely wipe drives without exposing data

 

It’s not just about encryption, it’s about full lifecycle control of your data security.

In a world where data breaches, lost devices and insider threats are common, Opal Lock stands out as a smart, scalable, and secure solution for encrypted drive management. Whether you’re an individual looking to secure a personal laptop or an IT team managing sensitive corporate data, Opal Lock ensures your data stays protected at every step.
