QuestionQ220

Incident Management

Which of the following is a fundamental practice for workstations used to perform a forensic investigation?

  • A A documented chain of custody log is kept for the workstations
  • B The workstations are only accessed by members of the forensics team
  • C Only forensics-related software is installed on the workstations
  • D The workstations are backed up and hardened on a regular basis

Forensic workstations should be dedicated, controlled systems with only forensic-related software installed. Limiting software reduces the chance of unintended changes, contamination, or unvalidated tools affecting evidence and analysis results.
