Did you download the SanDisk Security app from their official site? Also, which OS are you using — sometimes compatibility issues show up depending on that.

This error usually means the security feature on your SanDisk SSD isn’t turned on or isn’t supported. Make sure you’re using the official SanDisk Security app for your drive and that both the firmware and software are up to date. If you’re still getting that message, try reinstalling the security app or plug the drive into another PC to see if it behaves the same. Let me know how it goes.
