The HEISC Technologies, Operations, and Practices Group has created a page on Full Disk Encryption.

The most common use case for implementing FDE is to protect data loss due to lost or stolen laptops, which is often sufficient enough to avoid costly data breach notification requirements.
The purpose of this guide is to provide worthwhile strategies for implementing full disk encryption throughout your organization, and to identify common pitfalls to avoid. The following topics are covered on this page:
