Parallel in serial out access in bit wise

Dear all.

I have sample code below.FAULT_PISO is variable which hold value of serial out. I could able to get Serial output from device .

I wanted to use the bit value of variable how can i do in it.

for example FAULT_PISO=0X10
then i wanted to read 8 bit of FAULT_PISO value. 1000 0000 in this i wanna access 8 bit value which i wanted to use for comparing with enum value.

if enum value is == FAULT_PISO_8bit
led =on
else
led =off

int PISO_CLK = 3 ; // Output its clock input for 74hc765 connected to PIN2
int PISO_FAULT = 4; // Serial I/p (Q7) Connected to PIN 9 of 74HC765
int PISO_PL_EN = 5; // Load input for Connected to PIN 1 of 74HC765
unsigned char PISO_CLK_EN = 0;

unsigned char byteValue = 0;
unsigned char bitValue;
volatile unsigned char FAULT_PISO;


void CHK_FAULT_INPUT(void) {
  unsigned char i;
  byteValue = 0; // accumulates image of 8 switches
  bitValue = 0;

  PISO_PL_EN = 0; // latch data
  delayMicroseconds(200);

  PISO_PL_EN = 1; //ADD
  delayMicroseconds(200);

  for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) {

    bitValue = PISO_FAULT;
    byteValue |= (bitValue << ((8 - 1) - i));

    PISO_CLK = 1;
    delayMicroseconds(200);

    PISO_CLK = 0;
    delayMicroseconds(200);

  }

  FAULT_PISO = byteValue;
  Serial.print("FAULT_PISO:");
  Serial.println(FAULT_PISO);
}

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(4, INPUT);

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  CHK_FAULT_INPUT();
  delay(1000);
}

bitRead() certainly looks useful.
