Frequently Asked Questions
Why is evidence preservation important? [ANSWER ▾]
Digital evidence can be altered unintentionally through normal operating system use, automatic background updates, or user errors. Proper forensic preservation locks data in an unalterable state for future discovery.
What is a forensic copy? [ANSWER ▾]
A forensic copy (or bit-stream image) is a sector-by-sector duplicate of a storage device created through write-blockers, capturing unallocated space and deleted artifacts while protecting original media.
What is chain of custody? [ANSWER ▾]
Chain of custody is a formal, chronological log documenting the collection, custody, transfer, analysis, and disposition of digital evidence to verify authenticity for legal proceedings.
Can preserved evidence be used in legal proceedings? [ANSWER ▾]
Our evidence preservation practices follow ISO/IEC 27037 forensic standards and include SHA-256 hash validation to support court admissibility, though final determination rests with the presiding judicial authority.
