If you’ve been using BitLocker in your organization, you probably receive some requests from your security department to monitor the Bitlocker status of a device if it gets stolen. One of them is a free SCCM Bitlocker Report and a free Power BI Dashboard that we’ve done just for you but there’s a couple of ways to achieve this.
#1 – MBAM
The first and recommended one would be to use Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM). However, this tool is not free, you need to have Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP).

#4 – SCCM Power BI Dashboard
If you’re using Power BI in your organization, we’ve also created a free Bitlocker Compliance Dashboard that you can use.
