I managed to rescue Dr. Garrow from the Protocol camp but didn’t follow her immediately because I was busy looting around the prison. Later, I progressed in the story and self-destructed Oberon. After taking a break, I loaded a previous save made right after freeing Garrow but before killing Oberon to finish some leftover tasks. It seems that the only way to enter the data store is with Garrow’s key. I’ve searched for her body and looked around the interchange but couldn’t find any way in. Is there any workaround to access the data store without her key?

Did you get into the crane control room before freeing Garrow? You might need access there first to move the container that leads to the data store. If you haven’t been to the crane control room yet, try finding the key for it and using that to open the path.
You can get into the data store area overall, but the one special room that lets you power up the whole location requires Garrow’s key. It’s mostly for a bonus objective tied to her storyline, so it’s not essential for the main plot unless you really want to complete everything with her.
I just got through the crane control room and moved the container after your suggestion. I also talked to the NPC under the church in Wyndham Village and got prompted to tell him that Garrow is dead, which might relate to the story progress.
