Question 1 of 30

\"Innovate Solutions,\" a multinational corporation headquartered in Germany and subject to GDPR, recently terminated the employment of a senior marketing executive, Ricardo. Following his termination, Ricardo submitted a formal request to Innovate Solutions exercising his right to erasure (\"right to be forgotten\") under Article 17 of the GDPR, demanding the complete deletion of all his personal data from the company\'s systems. However, Innovate Solutions\' legal department has advised that there are credible allegations of significant financial misconduct by Ricardo during his tenure, which could potentially lead to future litigation against him or the company. The data in question includes emails, financial records, and performance reviews. Innovate Solutions has implemented an ISO 27701:2019-compliant Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).

Considering the requirements of ISO 27701:2019 and GDPR, what is the MOST appropriate course of action for Innovate Solutions regarding Ricardo\'s erasure request?

Partially grant the erasure request, retaining only the specific data directly relevant to the potential legal defense related to the alleged financial misconduct, documenting the justification, and informing Ricardo of the limited retention and its legal basis.
Fully comply with Ricardo's erasure request, deleting all his personal data immediately to avoid potential GDPR fines, as the right to erasure takes precedence over potential legal claims.
Completely deny Ricardo's erasure request, retaining all his personal data indefinitely, citing the potential for future litigation and the need to preserve all possible evidence, without informing Ricardo of the denial.
Transfer all of Ricardo's personal data to a secure, encrypted archive, informing him that the data is no longer actively processed but will be retained indefinitely for unspecified "future business needs."
