Cloud-based mobile device and application management — enroll, configure, and enforce compliance policies on company and personal devices.

Centrally enforce BitLocker drive encryption policy and escrow recovery keys. BitLocker itself ships with Windows Pro/Enterprise; cloud-based policy and key escrow specifically need Intune, mapped here as the enabling plan since there’s no dedicated BitLocker-management license line item.
