implementing-disk-encryption-with-bitlocker
Implements full disk encryption using Microsoft BitLocker on Windows endpoints to protect data at rest from unauthorized access in case of device loss or theft. Use when deploying encryption for compliance requirements, securing mobile workstations, or implementing data protection controls across the enterprise. Activates for requests involving BitLocker encryption, disk encryption, TPM configuration, or data-at-rest protection.

# Implementing Disk Encryption with BitLocker
## 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).
## Common Misconfigurations & Verification
- **TPM-only (no PIN):** `Enable-BitLocker -TpmProtector` unlocks transparently and is exposed to cold-boot and DMA/"evil maid" attacks. Confirm laptops use `TpmAndPin` — `(Get-BitLockerVolume C:).KeyProtector` should list `TpmPin`, not just `Tpm` and `RecoveryPassword`.
