An employee leaves the company and no longer has access to the FortiEDR system. You must ensure GDPR compliance regarding the employee's personal…

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), personal data includes any information that can identify a natural person directly or indirectly. In the context of FortiEDR, device names, user names, IP addresses, and MAC addresses are classified as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) because they can be linked to a specific individual. To comply with GDPR right-to-be-forgotten requests, these specific data types must be purged or anonymized using FortiEDR's data privacy settings. Installed applications and OS names are generic system attributes and do not constitute personal data.

B. Installed applications are generic system configuration details and do not directly or indirectly identify a natural person under GDPR.

C. The installed OS name is non-identifying technical metadata, not Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
