    Executive summary
    Nearly all organisations underestimate how often they may be called on to produce reliable evidence of what has happened in and around their information and communication technology (ICT) systems. They also underestimate the demands that the legal system makes in terms of ensuring the admissibility and reliability of digital evidence. Both of these can have a profound impact on business welfare. The detail of the problems that arise may be “techie”, but the implications for the continued smooth running of the organisation require proper control from, and the full understanding of, the organisation’s most senior decision-makers. Evidence is required in a very wide range of circumstances, for example: • in disputed transactions; • in allegations of employee misbehaviour; • to show compliance with legal and regulatory rules; • to avoid charges of negligence or breach of contract; • to assist law enforcement in criminal and anti-terrorist investigations; • to meet disclosure requirements in civil claims; • to support insurance claims after a loss. “Computer forensics” is now an established set of disciplines and the very high standards in place for preserving material from personal computers creates high expectations of other forms of digital evidence, including those from large corporate systems and networks, across the Internet and the emerging families of personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones and portable media units. Unless the organisation has developed a detailed planned response to typical risk scenarios, much potential evidence will never be collected or will become worthless as a result of contamination. Moreover, during an investigation, the organisation will be constantly faced with a dilemma: lose business when essential systems are switched off so that evidence can be properly preserved; or be profoundly handicapped and incur losses because evidence cannot be produced. What is needed is a forensic readiness plan. The first part of this guide is directed at major decision-makers, corporate strategists and their senior advisers, including lawyers. It covers the following: • explaining the legal requirements of “evidence” and the problems of admissibility; • showing the life-cycle of incidents and how evidence collection needs to be integrated into regular crisis management, incident response and litigation plans; • showing the management planning, processes and disciplines necessary if an organisation is to emerge with the greatest possible range of options; • providing a scheme for deciding the resources that will be required and when and how far requirements can be outsourced to specialist third parties. The second part of the guide is for those who will have to implement policy such as information security staff, computer security incident response staff and those tasked with dealing with the sharp end of an investigation. It offers essential background information, including: • techniques for evidence preservation; • descriptions of the relevant laws of evidence and admissibility; • disclosure, human rights and data protection issues; • the limits of powers to carry out various forms of surveillance and investigation; • the handling of obscene and paedophiliac material; • points of contact in law enforcement agencies; • pointers to further information; • a glossary Lawyers called upon to provide detailed guidance will also find some of the technical material on types of evidence and methodologies for acquisition helpful. Although this guide is designed for use within the United Kingdom and the descriptions of the law refer to English law, many of the principals are universal in all jurisdictions.
    Purpose
    "This guide aims to help directors, senior managers and their legal advisers to understand the key strategic and management issues. It is designed to anticipate the need for provision of digital evidence and investigations by setting up management procedures, acquiring appropriate resources and identifying third-party sources of emergency assistance. For lawyers, it provides an overview of the types of digital evidence and the associated problems of probative value, admissibility and disclosure. But it is only a starting point – other, more specialist publications will need to be consulted while a detailed plan is formulated."
    Description
    This guide is relevant beyond criminal investigations. It focuses on guiding managers, as well as practiioners through preserving evidence not only from the standpoint of 'actual' evidence. It looks into decision making and long-term planning in business world to maintain the increased demand of digitalization.
    Target group
    Decision-makers, legal advisers, managers and lawyers
