ISO/IEC 27037:2012 5.4.1: 5.4.1 Overview

Digital evidence is fragile and can be changed, tampered with or destroyed by poor handling or examination, so those handling it are competent to see what each possible step could do to it and to control that risk. DEFRs and DESs follow documented procedures that keep evidence intact and reliable, including handling guidance for each kind of evidence source and four basic principles: touch the original device or evidence as little as possible; account for and record every change and action, enough for an expert to judge reliability; comply with local rules of evidence; and never act beyond one's competence. Where a change cannot be avoided, the action and its reasons are recorded.
