Digital forensics is no longer just a technical specialty—it’s an executive concern that intersects with legal risk, regulatory obligations, and organizational reputation. In this episode, we introduce the fundamentals of digital forensics from a CCISO lens. You’ll learn what forensics is, when it should be triggered, and how it integrates with incident response and evidence handling procedures. We explore the phases of digital forensics—including identification, collection, preservation, examination, analysis, and reporting—and explain the responsibilities of security leadership in overseeing or approving these activities.

We also examine the role of forensic readiness planning, chain of custody management, and the legal implications of mishandled investigations. CISOs must ensure their teams understand jurisdictional boundaries, privacy considerations, and internal policies that dictate when and how forensic evidence is collected. The CCISO exam expects familiarity with forensic fundamentals, especially how executives support investigations without compromising due process or admissibility. This episode prepares you to lead with both technical awareness and legal foresight.
