Shouldn’t setting an institutional FileVault2 Master Key mitigate the key escrow issue?

NASA’s largest support contract is switching to FileVault 2 from Symantec PGP, and many of the smaller contracts have used FV2 for years. The primary hurdle as I understood it was that FV2 didn’t natively escrow a key within control of the organization and
so NASA Ames resolved that with a Cauliflower Vest server controlled by our IT Security group. I think the escrow requirement is part of NIST 800-53, which would also apply to the VA I’m guessing.
