Ipad app security?

Is there an app for this?
I need to secure one of the apps on my ipad.
I would prefer not to password protect the entire ipad, as I am too lazy to enter a secure password everytime I want to use it-BUT there is a specific app I need to password protect as if I lost my ipad some sensitive data might be accessible. I have looked around and have not found anything- but need a way to password protect an app or group of apps separately from the entire ipad. Any ideas??
Thanks
Gary

Nuup! One of iOS' biggest weaknesses is security for instances like this. Have you been to an auto show where they had iPads out to display vehicle information? The surround is usually a block of metal that covers the button on front. That's because even apps written custom for the car makers can't lock out the rest of the pad - if someone can hit the button, they can close the app and access everything else.
