Dell Data Protection | Access
No matter the size of your organization or how much data you have, safeguarding the information stored on your PCs is critical to security. Preventing unauthorized access to PCs is the first line of defense, and multifactor authentication offers exceptional control that is superior to single access-control methods. By combining user credentials such as what you know (password) with what you have (smart card), or with biometrics proving who you are (fingerprint), you can greatly strengthen your access-control system. This ensures that only the right people are accessing your data, networks and company resources.Dell Data Protection | Access (DDP | A) is an end-to-end security solution designed to support multifactor authentication, and is included with all Dell Latitude, Dell Precision and Dell OptiPlex systems. DDP | A can help you manage multiple hardware authentication methods, support Microsoft® Windows pre-boot login and single sign-on (SSO), and manage user credentials and passwords.
| Dell Authentication Bundle Help provide a solid hardware foundation to support multifactor authentication with the Dell Authentication Bundle, which is managed by DDP | A and is optional on Dell Precision, Latitude and OptiPlex systems. The solution includes Dell ControlVault, which is approved for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 201) and additional hardware authentication features such as: • Smart card reader: Supports common access cards (CACs) and personal identity verification (PIV) cards. • Contactless smart card reader: Offers streamlined user authentication and is easily managed using DDP | A solutions. • Fingerprint reader: Supports the Windows Biometric Framework. Also available with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 201 certification. | ![]() |
| Embedded hardware security Just as relying on passwords alone to enforce access control can be risky, so can relying on security software alone. Available in Dell business-class laptops and workstations are enhanced hardware security features, such as self-encrypting drives (SEDs), DDP | Hardware Crypto Accelerator, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Dell ControlVault. Combined with DDP | A software, Dell hardware security features support a strong, layered authentication solution. |
Dell ControlVault
One of the most effective methods to prevent unauthorized access to PCs is through pre-boot authentication. Dell ControlVault, available on all Dell Latitude systems with the Dell Authentication Bundle, offers secure hardware storage for all user credentials — such as user passwords, smart card data or fingerprint data — used during pre-boot before Microsoft® Windows login. Dell ControlVault fully isolates a user’s credentials from the operating system and any malware that it may be hosting.
