DECISION

Use USB Secure only inside its tested boundary

USB Secure may fit selected Windows-based portable-drive delivery workflows after current-version testing. It must not be described as hardware encryption, universal Mac or Android access, enterprise key management, guaranteed recovery or a substitute for physical custody.

Event-production scenario

The production team pilots the current USB Secure release with fictional schedules on the exact drive model. It verifies setup, protect/unprotect, reconnect, offline access, recipient-device compatibility, plaintext residue and backup before approving a limited vendor-handoff use.

PROCEDURE

Run this control before handoff

  1. 01

    Verify the official source, current release, license and supported systems.

  2. 02

    Create a fictional delivery set on the intended drive model.

  3. 03

    Test protection, reconnect, offline recipient access and residue.

  4. 04

    Test backup, lost-password consequences and documented recovery.

  5. 05

    Approve only the tested scenario; record exclusions and review date.

RECORD

Log the operational evidence

Record version, installer source, license, drive model/filesystem, sender and recipient systems, manifest, protection result, residue, recovery, exclusions and owner.

Stop the handoff when

  • Legacy artwork is treated as current-version proof.
  • The product is called a hardware-encrypted drive.
  • Mac or Android compatibility is assumed rather than tested.
BOUNDARY

State the protection boundary

Do not equate with hardware-encrypted drives or untested Mac/Android compatibility. Password protection does not replace recipient authorization, endpoint policy, backup, recovery or physical chain of custody.
