I'd add:

- Defense in Depth (gotta have those buzzwords , natch) Serioulsy though
it's key to mitagation

- Physical Security

I'd toss VPN or at least about remote data encryption in the user part -
I'm thinking "wifi user at starbucks" kind of thing.

Maybe some 802.11 sec too? And just b/c it's a personal thing for me,
but maybe delve a little into the "security is but a part of the whole
information assurance enchilada" talk wouldn't hurt either.

If you've got some time to kill reading:

- Good stuff (mostly technical, but some good policy too) can be found:
     http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/index.html
The STIGs provide a "good place to start" for a lot of stuff. There's
   good stuff all over the public parts of the IASE site.

- Common Criteria. People have varying opinions - but can be helpful
when trying to figure out a vendor's claims.
