Course Outline

  1. Identification: ESI that is potentially relevant to a case is identified, along with its locations, custodians, sizes/volumes etc.  preserved
  2. Preservation: the identified, potentially relevant ESI is placed under a legal hold, starting the formalized forensic process designed to ensure, beyond doubt, that they are protected through the remaining steps against threats.
  3. Collection: the ESI is collected from the original custodian, typically by physically removing the original digital storage media (hard drives, memory sticks and cards, CDs, DVDs, whatever).
  4. Processing: forensic bit-copies are stored in a form that allows them to be searched or analysed for information that is relevant to the case, using suitable forensic tools and platforms. 
  5. Review: forensic bit-copies are searched or analysed for information that is relevant to the case.
  6. Analysis: the information is further analysed and assessed as to its relevance, suitability, weight, meaning, implications etc. Useful information is gleaned from the selected data.
  7. Production: relevant information from the analysis, plus the original storage media etc., is formally presented to the court as evidence.
