There are two ways off the top of my head:

One: setup a virtual web service with the host header of example.com. In 
the IIS properties for that site, setup a permanent redirect to the 
www.example.com site. You can setup the redirect so that it retains the 
full URL and querystring.

Two: with-in your code (and just for the SSL enable pages) look for the 
HTTP Environment Variable "HTTPS" the values are on / off. If off, 
redirect to the https URL.
