Legal Hold Legal hold refers to the fact that information that may be relevant to a court case must be preserved. Information subject to legal hold might be defined by regulators or industry best practice, or there may be a litigation notice from law enforcement or lawyers pursuing a civil action. This means that computer systems may be taken as evidence, with all the obvious disruption to a network that entails. Chain of Custody Chain of custody documentation reinforces the integrity and proper handling of evidence from collection, to analysis, to storage, and finally to presentation. When security breaches go to trial, the chain of custody protects an organization against accusations that evidence has either been tampered with or is different than it was when it was collected. Every person in the chain who handles evidence must log the methods and tools they used. __ So, the answer is Legal hold

from Daryl Gibson's book: A chain of custody provides assurances that evidence has been controlled and handled properly after collection. It documents who handled the evidence and when they handled it. A legal hold is a court order to preserve data as evidence. I would go with chain of custody.
