The correct way to go is to use full disk encryption with TPM and a
PIN (e.G. using Bitlocker), and use multi-factor authentication (e.G.
User, Password, RSA Key Fob) for all remote access.
I'm not convinced that the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) part adds a
sufficient increase in security over non-TPM enabled full disk
encryption to justify the cost, particularly in the case of laptops.
For one, is it really that much harder to steal the whole laptop that to
just steal the disk? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think TPM only
provides extra security in the case of the attacker putting the disk in
a different machine.
Secondly, in most security systems the weak point is the user. I'd say
the money is better spent fostering a culture of security in your
organization. It is much less risky to attempt some sort of social
engineering attack to get at sensitive data than to go around stealing
laptops.
