What you're looking for is commonly known as MDM (mobile Device management) software. It lets you manage laptop and phone configurations such as requiring a lock screen. If you're a windows shop you'll want active directory at up. While you can do this yourself, most smaller companies will look for a MSP (managed service provider) to do the setup and ongoing management including laptop setup. There are a lot of them out there so it's worth shopping around to find one with both good pricing and more importantly one that's responsive to your needs. Investors and other startups in your area might have suggestions on good ones

Thanks, that's really helpful. I'll have a look at both MDM software and options on outsourcing it to an MSP.
