BitArmor' primary product was BitArmor DataControl, a software solution that combined full disk encryption with persistent file encryption technology.[1]

The company completed a $5 million round of venture capital funding in May 2009. BitArmor used the venture capital to fund development efforts and expand marketing and sales. At the time of the round of financing BitArmor employed 35 people.[2]

BitArmor was acquired by Trustwave in January 2010[3][4], in order to strengthen the latter's PCI services.[5]
