Things to consider for defining laptop security strategy

Hello All,

I am looking for some ideas on what to consider when defining a laptop
security strategy. I am looking the security from both the process and
technology point of view. Currently we are concerned with only "Data @
Rest".

So far I have:
- Awareness
- Training
- Encryption (Encrypted Vaults, File/Folder encryption, full disk encryption)
- Data Recovery in case of the loss of the encryption key / Secure Backup
- Device recovery in case of theft or lost
- Data classificiation
- Centralized management
- Encryption key recovery
- Spyware control
