Digital forensics investigations follow a strict chain of custody or formal process for tracking how evidence is gathered and handled. The chain of custody allows investigators to prove that evidence wasn’t tampered with and can be replicated if another expert follows the same procedure and tools. As a result, evidence from digital forensics investigations can be used for official purposes like court cases, insurance claims, compliance, dispute resolution and regulatory audits.
