Chain of Custody (CoC) is equally as crucial as preserving evidence. Without proper documentation of the CoC, there is no way of preserving the evidence.

It is important to maintain the chain of custody to ensure that the evidence is not tampered with, and the authenticity and integrity of the forensic image are preserved. The investigator should document the time and date of the image creation, the names of the individuals who have handled the drive, and any other pertinent information.
