I have created LV's and then encrypted said LV and then mounted the decrypted device. So he should be able to create a LV just for the data and encrypt it. The machine would fully boot up but then a password would need to be entered to see the data on that LV. You would probably want a script to build the crypt device and then mount said filesystem if the password was right. If the password was typed wrong you would want to script to be able to be rerun again to do it correctly. There is little or not point in putting a user password on the ISO itself as that is trivially breakable unless that password is the password to decrypt the iso which would be much less forgiving (wrong password means completely reboot and try again from the start).
