    The website discussions bit locker that can be setup on windows phone, however I have 3 windows phone and none of them have this capability. When I called in they stated the capabilities does not exist. however the store in deleware stated it is available.

    Is there a pilot program for small companies to participate that have security engineers on the team, I would love to go with all microsoft products based on the easy integration; but this is a potential show stopper for full integration.

    Thanks

    The answer is yes and no, yes bitlocker can be enabled on a Windows Phone 8 device, no you can't just flip a switch and turn it on.

    Bitlocker encryption can be enabled in 2 ways, either through the Exchange ActiveSync policy RequireDeviceEncryption or through a device management policy through a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. Microsoft's MDM is called Intune.

    Is there any plan to enable device encryption without management?  Other mobile OS versions enable encryption as soon as you specifiy a PIN.

    Thanks.

    Microsoft has decided that the way to avoid cooperating with requests to decrypt a phone is to not allow encryption in the first place.  IOW, if you are a small company or an individual user and want an encrypted phone you will have to leave Microsoft.
