Good business information assurance policies would make sure that the laptop was encrypted. This would protect against the risk of unauthorised disclosure should the device be stolen, and make it much harder for state-sponsored industrial espionage should the device be imaged by security authorities. Plausibly-deniable encrypted partitions are a thing, if your situation demands it. You could put encrypted material into cloud storage, of course, but you'd have to be confident about the strength of your encryption.
