While encrypting local data can be a solution, insuring that all sensitive data is properly encrypted can be difficult. Moreover, proving that all such data has been encrypted after a laptop has been lost or stolen is practically impossible. A much better solution is to simply store all data on central servers at the data center, and access them remotely via Server Based Computing: http://ericomguy.blogspot.com/2007/11/sbc-could-save-you-from-jail.html
For what it's worth I've posted my personal list of top-ten software management tips on my blog: http://ericomguy.blogspot.com/2007/07/top-ten-list -of-tips-and-suggestions_31.html/
This list is based on my own personal experiance, and would have certianly helped me when I got started as a manager.
Hopefully it can help you as well.
