Process Model of Digital Forensics Readiness Scheme (DFRS) as a Recommendation of Digital Evidence Preservation

For an organization, the guarantee of the integrity of business processes in the event of an incident, which may cause paralysis of information technology infrastructure, including resources in it is a strategic necessity. Though considered difficult, at least for the organization´s management are able to minimize the impact of the incident on their business processes. One of the vital assets that will be the impact of an incident is the loss or damage to the digital evidence. This study was motivated by the importance of a process model that is concise and effective in the domain of Digital Forensics Readiness (DFR), considering that several sources have published earlier DFR models that broadly has the similar four entities, namely people, process, policy, and technology. This paper produces a model of a process called Digital Forensics Readiness Schema (DFRS), which is the result of the normalization of the process model published by Caroline Crime Report by incorporating some key elements of the 10 stages to 5 stages, without reducing the quality and capability of the existing business processes.
