Electronic Evidence Collection Best Practices
Electronic evidence can be derived from various sources within a company’s network, encompassing any technology used for data transmission or storage. Investigators focus on collecting evidence from three key areas within an offender’s network: the offender’s workstation, the server accessed by the offender, and the network connecting the two. This three-pronged approach allows investigators to corroborate the data’s origin using different sources.
Similar to any other evidence in a case, information obtained from a computer forensics investigation must adhere to the standards of admissible evidence. Careful handling of a suspect’s files is crucial to avoid compromising the evidence, considering potential risks such as viruses, electromagnetic or mechanical damage, and booby traps. Adhering to cardinal rules helps ensure that the electronic evidence remains intact and unaltered:
- EPIS investigators exclusively rely on tools and methods that undergo rigorous testing and evaluation to validate their accuracy and reliability. Our commitment to employing proven techniques ensures the integrity of our investigative processes and enhances the quality of results delivered to our clients.
Testing a tool in a simulated forensic examination is essential to validate its reliability and performance. This ensures that the tool can accurately and effectively handle real-world forensic scenarios, contributing to its forensic soundness.
- Minimize handling of original evidence to prevent alterations in the data.
- Establishing and maintaining the chain of custody is crucial to ensure the integrity of the evidence.
- Thorough documentation of every step taken in the investigation is essential to provide a clear record and maintain the credibility of the evidence.
- Investigators must restrict their conclusions and statements to the information they have obtained through the investigation process and not make assumptions beyond their knowledge.
Failure to adhere to these steps can lead to alterations, damage, or contamination of the original data, rendering any results generated unreliable and susceptible to legal challenges. Additional considerations include:
- The potential disruption to business operations.
- The handling of sensitive information unintentionally discovered during the investigation.
In any investigation where the owner of the digital evidence hasn’t given consent for media examination, as in most criminal cases, it’s crucial to ensure legal authority for seizing, imaging, and examining each device. Valuable information can often be obtained through an interview with the computer user, providing insights into system configuration, applications, and critical encryption details. EPIS Computer Forensic analysis becomes more manageable with access to passphrases that unlock encrypted files or containers on the local computer or connected systems through a network.
