Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for full disk encryption of a boot disk of a computer. One example method for full disk encryption of a boot disk of a computer includes performing one or more pre-boot compatibility tests on the boot disk of the computer; determining one or more encryption policies applicable to a pre-boot execution stage of the computer; comparing results of the pre-boot compatibility tests with the encryption policies; determining whether to apply a full disk encryption to the boot disk based on an outcome of comparing the results of the pre-boot compatibility tests with the encryption policies; and when it is determined to apply the full disk encryption, applying the full disk encryption to the boot disk.
