ISO/IEC 27037:2012 5.4.2: 5.4.2 Identification

Evidence exists in physical form (the data within a tangible device) and logical form (its virtual representation). Identification means searching for, recognising and documenting potential digital evidence: it locates the media and devices that store or process data which could bear on the incident, ranks collection by volatility so that collection and acquisition happen in the order that does least damage and yields the best evidence, and considers that evidence may be hidden. Cloud services, NAS and SAN add a virtual element, so not every medium is easy to locate. The DEFR searches systematically and thoroughly, since small, disguised or mixed-in devices are easily missed.
