Enterprises such as Marks and Spencer have also been hit not only by the cost of hardware theft, but also the negative PR associated with an order from the Information Commissioner's Office to encrypt all laptop hard drives - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7209154.stm
Data stored in an unprotected state on laptop and desktop PCs invites unacceptable risks—and the costs of data loss go beyond endangering critical IP or competitive data. With the advent of tough new privacy laws worldwide, compromising customer or employee data through a security breach can subject organizations to stiff fines, crippling remediation costs, and embarrassing public disclosures.
Strong encryption provides the only sure way to protect your organization’s critical information from falling into the wrong hands. It also provides a “safe harbour” from disclosure requirements in the event a machine containing legally protected data is lost or stolen. Working with SafeNet, who have 25 year experience in data security, Westcom have a cost effective solution for securing data.
