This obviously requires that you have access to the hardware but since this requirement is usually for devices distributed to workers the requirement isn't as limiting as it seems.
I can't point you to resources because the last time I did this was several years ago but, although it seemed difficult I found that after following the instructions carefully I had a ROM image that only included software the client wanted to be available. If this approach doesn't suit your situation you're down to fixes such as installing hacks to trap keystrokes. The problem is that a hard reset will always remove these applications, reverting the device to the factory state.
