In the contexts of Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity in general, it has been discussed for many years… yet, when it comes to practice, the reality is different: in most organizations, the chain of custody<\/strong> does not exist or is not applied correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n

In some cases because it is unknown, in others because it is seen as a mere bureaucratic formality: a document to be filled out only by “those who really need it”<\/em>. The consequences? Internal digital investigations lacking a solid documentary foundation. Disciplinary decisions that become more fragile in the face of a challenge. Digital evidence that risks losing all value. <\/span><\/p>\n
