I would use a Document Management System, which will provide him 
everything he needs in terms of security and probably a lot more in 
terms of document management.

There are some good opensource ones, and sharepoint has a free version 
which we are using and are very satisfied with it.
It provides everything your friend needs, and you can encrypt the disk 
if offline access is a worry.
