When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Encrypting Windows endpoints to protect data at rest for compliance (PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR)
  • Deploying BitLocker across enterprise fleet via Intune, SCCM, or GPO
  • Configuring TPM-based encryption with PIN or USB startup key for enhanced security
  • Managing BitLocker recovery keys in Active Directory or Azure AD

Do not use this skill for Linux disk encryption (use LUKS/dm-crypt) or macOS (use FileVault).

Prerequisites

  • Windows 10/11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education edition
  • TPM 2.0 chip (recommended; TPM 1.2 supported with limitations)
  • UEFI firmware with Secure Boot enabled (recommended)
  • Separate system partition (200 MB minimum, created automatically by Windows installer)
  • Active Directory or Azure AD for recovery key escrow
