All forensics requires a time line or time reference so the separate
pieces of forensic data can be assembled in the order they happened. 
Otherwise, each data point cannot be related to the others. Data is 
often gathered from multiple devices. Security and time are very much
related.

I would suggest NTP and using GMT.
