[...] much advice about ways to encrypt hard disks deleted.

If you have a user who requires a high degree of security, contact any one
of a number of makers of *removeable* disk drives.  Physical security is really
the only way to go.  Buy them a good wall or floor safe, and have them be sure
that they put the drive away after every use.  Be sure there is *no* other 
drive in the system, as "secure" information has a habit of leaking onto the
other drives unless carefully monitored.
