Chain of custody is the documented history of who collected, handled, transferred, stored and examined an item of evidence. This digital-forensics lesson explains how clear records and integrity controls support a defensible investigation.
You’ll learn: • Identifying and labelling evidence • Recording dates, times, people, purpose and location • Packaging, secure storage and controlled access • Hashes and other integrity checks for digital files • Transfer and examination logs • Common documentation gaps • Why legal requirements differ by jurisdiction and case
Evidence admissibility is a legal decision; a documentation problem does not have one automatic outcome in every court. Follow organisational procedures and seek qualified legal guidance.
