• Identifying the evidence: The first step is to identify all of the potential digital evidence that is relevant to the investigation. This can include computer files, emails, social media posts, text messages, and other types of data.
• Preservation of evidence: Once the evidence has been identified, it is important to preserve it so that it can be analyzed later. This may involve creating a forensic copy of the evidence or disabling any features that could alter the data.
• Analysis of evidence: The next step is to analyze the evidence to determine its relevance to the investigation. This may involve using specialized software to search for keywords or patterns, or it may involve manually reviewing the data.
