Zorluk: ZorIncident Response and Chain of Custody

An IT technician is tasked with securing a compromised internal storage drive and transporting it to an offsite forensic analysis team following a suspected enterprise data breach. Which of the following procedural steps are mandatory to preserve evidence integrity and maintain a valid chain of custody during this process? (Select TWO.)

  1. Document the exact date, time, hardware serial number, and signatures of both the relinquisher and recipient for every evidence transfer.Cevap
  2. B
    Mount the drive on a local workstation to copy log files into an unencrypted shared folder before packaging the drive.
  3. Seal the drive in a tamper-evident anti-static bag and store it within a locked, access-controlled container prior to transport.Cevap
  4. D
    Leave the drive on a desk in a monitored open office area overnight since room-level physical security cameras are active.

Cevap

The technician must document the exact date, time, hardware serial number, and handler signatures upon transfer, and seal the drive in a tamper-evident anti-static bag within a locked storage container.
Maintaining a valid chain of custody requires logging comprehensive transfer details—such as exact timestamps, unique serial numbers, and signatures of all individuals handling the asset—as well as securing the evidence in sealed, tamper-evident anti-static packaging stored within restricted physical security containers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify physical evidence preservation protocols.
Digital storage media must be isolated from physical and static damage using tamper-evident anti-static bags and stored in restricted-access physical containers.
Prevents accidental evidence alteration, electrostatic discharge, or unauthorized access during transport.
2
Apply chain-of-custody logging standards.
Every change of possession must be explicitly logged with detailed metadata including timestamps, serial numbers, and signatures of both parties.
Establishes a verifiable, unbroken record showing who controlled the evidence at every stage for legal defensibility.
