Frequently Asked Questions
What is case management in digital forensics?
Case management is how investigators track a case from intake to closure, covering tasks, evidence, notes and approvals. It keeps work organised, auditable and ready for review or court.
What should be recorded in a forensic case?
Record who handled each item, when and why, along with hashes, tool versions, actions and findings. Detailed notes let someone else reproduce your work and support your chain of custody.
Do I need special software for case management?
Dedicated platforms help, but good habits matter more than tools. This free beginner Codelivly room explains the principles, so you can apply them in any system or even a simple log.
