Abstract

To discover, uncover, and stamp out digital crime while ensuring information security and assurance, there is a need to investigate the crime once it has occurred. This will help trace the criminals and also secure an organization against future attacks. Forensic readiness entails organizations being at alert as per digital evidence collection and storage – that is collecting and storing such evidence constantly in a forensically sound manner, not just when the need for such evidence arises. In the event litigation arises or is anticipated, digital evidence may need to be reviewed by the opposing parties prior to court proceedings to assess quality of the evidence; this is eDiscovery. Digital evidence for eDiscovery needs to be forensically sound and provided in an efficient timely manner – forensic readiness helps to ensure this. This chapter is an update on the chapter on “Forensic Readiness and eDiscovery” in the previous edition and still seeks to establish how forensic readiness is relevant to the eDiscovery process, taking into consideration current developments in the field.
