No company can ever really know that data wasn't accessed

After the laptop is gone, the company can only know if cryptware was 
installed on the machine or not.
If not, then this is a policy failure and perhaps the CIO should be fired.

Of course if cryptware was installed, there's still little way of 
knowing if it was in use at time of theft.
