encryption question

As a CISSP I have a task to protect information by locking down the info on the pc with encryption. Also as a forensic examiner I am tasked with making forensic images and conducting examinations in support of corporate investigations, essentially getting into the information I am tasked with protecting. There are many products that do hard disk encryption but I have experienced major problems in making acquisitions without first decrypting the drive thus tampering with evidence. As far as directory level encryption the security requirement would be to use a hardware key to authenticate to the encrypted directory (two factor authentication) but as an examiner, the hardware key would need to contain administrator in addition to user accounts or policies which would enable me to conduct a sound investigation. Has anyone been in the same situation or know of any company that offers this? Thanks
