Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring provides centralized management for Windows BitLocker drive encryption across an organization. It allows administrators to enforce encryption policies, including methods and cipher strength, and automates the encryption of operating system and data drives on compliant hardware. The system escrows and stores recovery keys in a central database, with access governed by roles and logged for auditing purposes. It includes portals for both help desk-assisted and user self-service key recovery, alongside reporting features that track the encryption status and compliance of all managed devices.
