If you can determine that the value of the data + laptop is less than the cost of implementing the control, you won't need to implement the control. That is why you need to determine the risk. It boils down to economics. This procedure applies to all forms of information security. When it comes down to it, you, as a infosec professional ARE the insurance policy/company for your company.
