Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 256GB Encrypted USB Drive

The Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 256GB is a hardware-encrypted USB drive built around an XTS-AES 256-bit encryption engine that operates entirely independently of any host operating system or software. Authentication is performed directly on the device via an integrated alphanumeric keypad, eliminating all attack surfaces associated with software-based PIN entry, keyloggers, and BadUSB exploits. The drive carries FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification—the highest level commercially available for portable storage—mandating physical tamper-evidence, identity-based authentication, and cryptographic module integrity verification as defined by NIST standards, making it directly applicable to HIPAA, GDPR, CMMC, and government data-handling mandates.

The IronKey KP200 employs an Autonomously Encrypting design where the encryption keys are generated and stored exclusively within the secure microprocessor on the drive; no key material ever traverses the host system's memory or bus. The device enforces a configurable Brute Force Protection policy that permanently crypto-erases all data after a defined number of consecutive incorrect PIN attempts, rendering intercepted drives forensically unrecoverable. An additional Admin and User PIN hierarchy allows IT administrators to set separate access credentials, enforce PIN complexity rules, and enable a read-only mode that prevents any data writes from a connected host—a critical control for forensic investigators and regulated data custodians.

The drive's zinc alloy housing provides structural resistance to physical tampering, and the epoxy-filled interior protects internal components against non-invasive and semi-invasive attack techniques as required by FIPS 140-3 Level 3. Multi-PIN support accommodates a One-Time Recovery PIN generated by the Admin, allowing end users to regain access without compromising the Admin credential. Compatible with any USB Type-A host across Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, and embedded systems without driver installation, the KP200 256GB is purpose-built for regulated industries requiring verifiable chain-of-custody for data at rest on portable media.

Ideal for

• Government and defense contractors transporting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under CMMC Level 2/3 compliance requirements with mandatory hardware-encrypted removable media policies
• Healthcare organizations securely transferring patient records and PHI between facilities or to external auditors in alignment with HIPAA Security Rule physical safeguard requirements
• Financial institutions providing branch staff and auditors with encrypted offline backups of sensitive transaction records and audit logs that must remain accessible without network connectivity
• Digital forensics and incident response teams using the drive's enforced read-only mode to safely collect and preserve evidence from compromised endpoints without risk of data contamination
• Critical infrastructure operators distributing firmware updates and configuration files to air-gapped industrial control systems (ICS/SCADA) where network-based transfer is prohibited
• Legal and compliance teams archiving privileged documents and attorney-client communications requiring hardware-level encryption to satisfy e-discovery and data retention mandates
