I'm thinking about things like this as well these days, though principally
on the mobile device front.  We have, literally, three laptops (with no
plans to add more), so TrueCrypt is the current choice for us there.

Interestingly, recent iDevices are all encrypted by default, IIUC.  But
it's essentially useless until you enforce passcodes.

Do you have Exchange?  Can you enforce your mobile device encryption
requirements by choosing the appropriate settings in your ActiveSync
policy(ies).

Coming at it from the other side (less emphasis on laptops, more on
mobile), it seems that most MDM solutions of any prominence do not also
include laptop/PC management.[1]  (I'm happy to be corrected if wrong about
this.)
