Government risk for loss of sensitive information still high:

According to an article in computer world http://computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9110983&intsrc=hm_list, only 30% of the laptops containing sensitive information are encrypted.

Since it is taking the government such a long time to encrypt, I would suggest they deploy encryption based on sensitivity of documents stored on laptops. They should start searching using DLP, and make some assumptions around employee roles and mandate encryption
