Drive encryption ensures that any data that violates the policy (unintentional or not) is still secured. It's more likely that a laptop's drive gets stolen compared to a office computer, but it's not impossible for the office computer's to be stolen. | |

I do recommend securing your personal data, but moving everything to your personal drive on the network (assuming there is one) would be better for career longevity as opposed to encrypting the device. | |
