Also, at least in the United States, locking a PC / workstation after 15
minutes of idle is a requirement of PCI/DSS - which your company almost
certainly agreed to if you process credit card or other payment
information.  HIPPA, FERPA, and friends have similar requirements /
strong-recommendations.

Ask a competent lawyer and he'll/she'll tell you to lock unattended
workstations.

This has nothing to do with auditing the access to or usage of data -
that is a separate issue.
