View the Bitlocker disk encryption status of your Windows computers

The Miradore client collects inventory information on the BitLocker drive encryption status from the Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 devices that you have enrolled in Miradore. Additionally, the BitLocker recovery key is stored on the device's page for easy retrieval if Miradore is used to encrypt the device.

To check the encryption status of a device, do the following:

1. Navigate to Management > Devices and open the device's page by double-clicking the device entry's row in the table.
2. Check the Encrypted row of the Security table on the Main tab.
   
   The Encrypted row shows one of the following statuses:
