Re: Digital Forensics Professional Services Costs was Use of Digital Forensics Professional Services

[John Nunnally <Nunnally () HARDING EDU>]

The big question is how do you know in advance?  Once you've messed with the
resources involved, it is highly unlikely that they could be used as
evidence in a court case.  So if you guess wrong about whether the case will
wind up in court, you're up a creek.

It's looking like our state could join the ranks of everyone else in the
notification laws. I'm looking at having in house expertise for the cases
where we need to have some reasonable knowledge if there's a disclosure and
outsourcing it if it's a high profile target or there is a good chance that
there will be legal proceedings involving the data.
