Summary

The four standards cover the whole digital forensics path, from first response at the incident scene to presenting the findings. ISO/IEC 27037 explains how to identify, collect, acquire and preserve potential digital evidence (disks, phones, cameras, networked systems) without altering it and while documenting the chain of custody. ISO/IEC 27042 deals with analysing and interpreting evidence, ISO/IEC 27041 with showing that investigative methods and tools are suitable and validated, and ISO/IEC 27043 with the overall model of investigation processes. They help CSIRTs, corporate investigators, police forces and expert witnesses keep evidence usable in disciplinary or court proceedings, including across jurisdictions.
