ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

During a forensic examination of a compromised application server, an internal investigator encounters a folder containing unencrypted personal photographs that are unrelated to the incident scope. The investigator considers the following actions. According to commonly accepted digital-forensic ethical guidelines, which action would most clearly violate professional duties?

  • Exclude the photos from acquisition because they fall outside the defined search parameters and leave them untouched on the server.

  • Hash the photo files and add the hashes and originals to the evidence repository under an updated chain-of-custody form.

  • Record the presence of the photos in the case notes without reviewing their content further, then notify legal counsel.

  • Copy the photos to personal media to examine their metadata later on a home computer.
