The Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 50 Series is a high-end storage device that offers business-level security with FIPS 197-certified 256-bit AES hardware encryption in XTS mode. The Vault Privacy 50 storage supports the option of multiple passwords (administrator, user, and one-time recovery password) with Compound Password or Password Expression modes. This increases the chances of regaining access to data if one of the passwords is forgotten.

To protect against potential malware on untrusted systems, both the administrator and the user can set a read-only mode that protects the drive from write access; the built-in virtual keyboard also safeguards passwords from keylogger or screenlogger software.

The VP50 series storage devices can be personalized and configured by businesses through a product ID, allowing them to be integrated into standard endpoint management software. This way, they can meet the IT and cybersecurity requirements of the company as part of the Kingston product personalization program.

Small and medium-sized enterprises can utilize the administrator function to manage storage devices locally, such as configuring or resetting user passwords or one-time recovery passwords for employees to restore access to data on locked media and to ensure compliance with laws and regulations when forensics are required.
