A software product that might help is NightWatch from Kent Marsh Ltd.
It 'locks' a disk by encoding a signature on it. To access the disk,
you have to be a registered user and provide a password (you also need
a 'key' disk). I read a good review of it before I bought it, but it
was a while ago (MacGuide might have a review and/or rating).
