PRACTICAL GUIDELINE FOR DIGITAL FORENSICS LABORATORY ACCREDITATION – A CASE STUDY

Abstract:

Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science that is used to assist investigation of cybercrime cases. Digital evidence, such as from mobile devices and computers, are analysed and the data are interpreted to assist the court of law in understanding what has taken place. In order to provide an assurance to the stakeholder on the accuracy of the forensic result, ISO/IEC 17025 has been used by forensic accreditation bodies to accredit laboratories. This paper,  presents the case study in getting a digital forensics laboratory accreditation, the methodology, and the lesson learnt. This paper is hoped to provide guidance to those who would like to pursue accreditation for their Digital Forensics Laboratories (DFL).
