The Information Assurance Advisory Council (IAAC) published a report on Tuesday that aims to provide organisations with guidance on retaining computer forensics evidence. Evidence of disputed transactions, suspected fraud, complaints of negligence, cyberattacks and theft of data is required to support an organisation's position in legal proceedings, according to the Directors' and Corporate Advisors' Guide to Digital Investigations and Evidence [1]. Formulating a "forensics readiness plan" would enable organisations to be prepared for high-frequency, low-impact situations, and should go hand in hand with a disaster-recovery plan, according to the report's author, professor Peter Sommer.
