Under the guidance of a legal investigation.

Access to corporate secrets must be authorized, necessary, and documented (least-privilege principle). Legitimate legal investigations (or other formally authorized, need-to-know requests from appropriate officers) provide that authorization. HR requests or written requests may be valid only if they follow proper authorization and audit procedures; personal development plans do not justify access.
