Explanation

Data minimization is a core privacy principle codified in frameworks such as GDPR, NIST Privacy Framework, and ISO 27701. It requires that organizations collect, process, and retain only the minimum amount of personal data necessary for a specified, legitimate purpose. By directing the administrator to reduce unique PII instances across systems, the manager is directly applying data minimization. This is distinct from PII security (protecting data that exists), record transparency (informing individuals about data use), and administrator accountability (ensuring admins are answerable for their actions).
