Then how do you prove during the trial that the evidence was NOT
planted by InfoSec team?  The argument can be made that since the
InfoSec team had admin right they could themselves have planted the
evidence

For this very same reason, in the ccriminal justice system the job of
dectective should never be performed by ADA or a DA. Infact if the
office of the DA discovers some evidence at the crime scene it almost
never admissible in the court.
