It isn't just encryption - you'll also need key management. dmcrypt will do the encryption side but I would assume your company is requiring key escrow as US companies have legal duties to produce data if ordered to by a court or similar authority, or to retrieve data if you vanish/fall out. "Dave forgot to tell us the key" isn't considered a good defence in court or to the IRS 8)
