Been playing with truecrypt today for usb encryption, looks like a winner, only down side is no traveller mode for OSX, but not many Staff will be using Level 2/3 data on OSX side of things anyway.

That's all well and good, but how do you get round those staff who will just use any old stick because they just can't be bothered to use the encryption system, or does the software prevent you from using any stick that isn't encrypted? (in which case what do you do about students that bring their USB sticks in?).

Personally, I don't.

But TakeWare Gatekeeper this will limit the USB sticks that can be used on your network. The pricelist is usless, all "Please Call"...

There's another link on this site, about someone who has written something similar for their School / LA, and wants to sell it, dunno about the prices for this either.
