In an age where data breaches and cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, endpoint encryption is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Microsoft’s BitLocker offers robust full-disk encryption for Windows devices, but managing it across hundreds or thousands of endpoints can be a logistical nightmare for MSPs. That’s where BitLocker for ConnectWise Automate comes in.
What Is BitLocker?
BitLocker is Microsoft’s built-in encryption tool that protects data by encrypting entire drives. It supports TPM-based protection, PINs, passwords, and recovery keys—ensuring that sensitive information remains secure even if a device is lost or stolen.
While BitLocker is powerful, it lacks centralized management features out of the box. For MSPs, this means manual tracking of encryption status and recovery keys—until now.
Enter BitLocker for ConnectWise Automate
BitLocker for ConnectWise Automate is a plugin developed by Plugins4Automate that integrates directly into the ConnectWise Automate RMM platform. It transforms BitLocker from a standalone tool into a scalable, manageable solution for MSPs.
With this plugin, technicians can:
- View encryption status across all managed endpoints
- Initiate or suspend BitLocker remotely
- Manage key protectors (TPM, PIN, password, recovery key)
- Escrow recovery keys securely within Automate
- Generate compliance reports and audit logs
Why It Matters for MSPs
Managing encryption manually is time-consuming and error-prone. BitLocker for Automate solves this by:
- Automating deployment and monitoring
- Centralizing recovery key storage
- Providing real-time dashboards and alerts
- Ensuring compliance with industry regulations
Whether you’re supporting healthcare, finance, or legal clients, this plugin helps you meet encryption standards without adding overhead.
