Does Sony have the legal right to raise prices? Of course. However, their decision to raise prices immediately after the announcement of her death demonstrates exceptionally poor judgement. Again. IMHO. / “The right to do something does not mean that doing it is right.” - William Safire

One option to consider is seeing whether you can file for an exception. Your company may have an exception policy with respect to the implementation of controls like full disk encryption. If not, you may want to ask them to implement one as it's a fairly standard practice. The security folks may want you to explain to them (in writing) why you can't implement the control, why you don't believe there's risk, and what possible other mitigating controls exist to minimize or eliminate the risk of not using full disk encryption, but with that you might be able to file for an exception. Just a thought.
