I am looking for a way to encrypt the hard drives on Windows 7 PCs
-
Back a few years ago, they didn't support GPT, so keep that in mind. This may be different now.
Double-check that your devices will work with it, but overall, they have a wide berth of laptops/desktops they support!
The installation routine was very easy and encryption would pick up where it left off if the unit was powered off/hibernated during it's initial encryption process.

@Nic What do you know about Webroot's Encryption?

I had some impression that TC wasn't FIPs compliant and therefore not 'usable'.... I could be very wrong in that understanding.
I doubt that it was because someone would likely have to pay for that, but FIPS doesn't impact much of anyone. Some government agencies but security is not their goal, supporting their paying vendors is. So it is a very different thing that "is it secure." But in the SMB, TC is extremely secure and very usable - and now CS takes on that legacy.
@scottalanmiller - the thing for us is that as a Non Profit dealing with HIPPA and other private data, we are governed under some of those 'laws'. We havea Clinic, Housing assistance, Veterans program, and energy assistance program. All of these take in private data.
I've used TC for a few years,.. love the product but never gone FDE (full disk encryption) with it.

@g.jacobse do any of those require FIPS, though? Or just security?

@scottalanmiller
Yes,.. FIPS is required. I don't have the grant / digital requirements off hand. But I think it was FIPS 140-2 -
That sucks. You are probably stuck with a commercial solution then.
