ThreatLocker Storage Control - USB & Data Movement
Managed ThreatLocker Storage Control - granular policies for USB drives, network shares, and cloud storage to prevent data exfiltration and unauthorized copying of regulated data.
Storage Control governs every storage location an endpoint can read from or write to: USB drives, external hard disks, SD cards, network shares, and cloud storage clients. You decide what is allowed, by whom, in what direction, for what file types.
We design and operate the policy so regulated data (PHI, PCI, CUI, IP) cannot leave the environment through obvious or accidental paths.
Everything in this service. Nothing buried in fine print.

[ Insider risk ]
Most exfil is accidental, not malicious
Storage Control is most valuable not against rogue insiders but against routine accidents - a sales rep moving the client list to a personal Dropbox before changing jobs, a contractor copying CAD files to a USB stick, an executive emailing himself a regulated report through a personal account. Storage Control blocks the path.
[ Compliance fit ]
Direct mapping to HIPAA, PCI, CMMC, and CUI
Removable media controls are a named requirement in HIPAA Security Rule, PCI DSS 9.7, CMMC MP.L2-3.8.7 / 3.8.8, and the entire NIST 800-171 Media Protection family. Storage Control satisfies the technical control and produces the audit log to prove it.
[ Industry use cases ]
How different industries put this service to work
Every regulated and growth-stage business we support has a slightly different reason for engaging this service. The common thread is that the risk, downtime, or compliance cost of doing nothing is now bigger than the cost of a specialized partner.

[ Buyer checklist ]
What good looks like when you evaluate providers
Not every provider that lists this service on their website actually delivers it well. Use the checklist below when you shortlist partners so you can compare apples to apples and avoid the two most common traps: a low sticker price that hides scope gaps, and a polished sales cycle backed by an offshore delivery team you never meet.
If a prospective provider cannot answer these questions plainly and in writing, treat that as a signal. The right partner will welcome the scrutiny.

Named senior engineers assigned to your account, not a shared queue
