EFS is an excellent solution, as long as you back up the user's EFS key
or use a Data Recovery Agent (or Key Recovery Agent).

Windows have support for EFS(Encrypting File System). I haven`t worked
with it so I`ll just paste a link for more information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFS
Hope it helps.

Hi,
I am looking for a solution to encrypt the hard drives which contain
confidential info. Ideally, this tool would be transparent and usable on
all the drives on the computer/laptop (from c: to z:). Ideally it would
be easy to set up and manage, not a problem if the tool is not free. Any
experience on this? What algorithm(s) does it use?
Another option would be to use external encrypted drives to store the
info. What are the options here?
I am looking for some background information, to short-list all the
options.
Thanks for the help!
