I wish this was the first time I had come across this! Most importantly, if
you are generating records, but haven't yet you have time to find a creative
solution (like spare cabinets for which you have all the keys or changing
the keys), while you educate her on why she does not want access and how not
having access may protect her from litigation in the future.
I would have a word with someone in security who understands data protection
and see if she can be persuaded by someone else without losing face!
