Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments by exclusively referencing BitLocker (a Windows disk encryption technology) for device encryption and recovery. There are no mentions of Linux-based encryption tools or instructions for Linux users, nor are there any Linux command-line examples or guidance for handling the key file on non-Windows systems.
Recommendations
  • Include references to Linux-compatible disk encryption and recovery tools, or clarify if the device is only compatible with BitLocker.
  • Provide guidance or examples for Linux users on how to handle, store, and use the downloaded key file (e.g., using Linux command-line tools to inspect or manage the JSON file).
  • If the device is managed exclusively through a web UI and is OS-agnostic, explicitly state this to reassure non-Windows users.
  • If BitLocker is mandatory due to device design, add a note explaining this requirement and suggest best practices for Linux/Mac users in managing BitLocker keys.
