When installed on a Windows OS device, the Vanta Device Monitor specifically checks for BitLocker enablement to confirm encryption monitors; however, Windows 10 and 11 Home Edition do not support BitLocker hard drive encryption.

For devices using Windows 10/11 Home, we recommend using a third-party encryption solution and adding manual evidence to the related tests in Vanta. For more details, please refer to our Document Third-Party Encryption guide.
