We have tested Sygate and it worked wonderfully. Many options priced right.
Take a look at it.

Greetings Keith,
We have a current project, awaiting funding, that would do almost
exactly what you are looking to do with the ZoneAlarm Integrity
client/sever product.
While the Integrity product does require a master server that the
clients routinely connect to, it allows for seamless non-intrusive
security on the OS. The Integrity client runs as a process that they
user (no matter their account privilege level) cannot adjust. So there
is no chance that they will compromise themselves.
The pricing we got for a 50 user rollout was about $3,700 with the
2-year maintenance package. They were charging about $65.00/seat for
both the client and the server.
This may be a bit outside your budget, but our review found that it was
the best solution for us. Being a small company it will be a real win
for us.
