Kernel-Level Protection

DiskWarden

Enforce per-folder size and file count limits at the kernel level. The folder quota system that Windows 10 and 11 should have shipped with — no ACL changes, no workarounds, Defender-safe.

Everything you need to control disk usage

DiskWarden fills the gap left by Microsoft's decision to restrict FSRM to Windows Server.

Kernel Minifilter Driver

Intercepts file writes at the kernel level. When a folder exceeds its quota, writes are blocked instantly — no lag, no race conditions, no bypasses.

Size & Count Limits

Set maximum folder sizes in bytes, KB, MB, or GB. Set maximum file counts. Both enforced independently per rule.

File Type Blocking

Block specific file extensions from being written to protected folders. Prevent users from saving unauthorized file types where they don't belong.

Rename & Extension Protection

Prevent files from being renamed to bypass type restrictions. Extension protection ensures rules can't be circumvented by simply changing a file extension.

Malware Analysis Dashboard

Inspect any file with SHA-256 hashing, entropy scoring, Authenticode signature verification, PE metadata analysis, process chain tracing, and timestomping detection.

Quarantine Viewer

Files that violate rules can be quarantined automatically. Browse, inspect, restore, or permanently delete quarantined files from a dedicated viewer.

Password-Protected Settings

Lock DiskWarden's configuration behind a password so standard users can't modify or disable protection rules.

Centralized Logging

Forward events via syslog, webhooks, email alerts, Windows Event Log, or JSONL files. Integrate with your existing monitoring stack.

LAN Fleet Management

Deploy and manage quota rules across multiple machines from a single console. Available in Business tier licenses.

41 Languages

Full UI localization in 41 languages with privacy-sensitive payment flows localized independently for each region.

Defender-Safe

DiskWarden doesn't modify permissions, ACLs, or security descriptors. It works alongside Windows Defender and other security software without conflicts.
