The key here is restricting access, so I'd enable the firewall and screensaver locks. Disabling iCloud could also help, but the firewall and locks are the most important.

Defragging the hard drive? That's not really a security measure. I'd definitely choose the firewall and screensaver locks to lock this workstation down.
