The state crime lab has contracted AB Investigative Services (ABIS) to prepare a forensic plan to ensure that current problems with computer forensic investigations are erased and training is provided.

• An initial ABIS audit shows that many areas of the lab are not prepared to conduct extensive computer forensic evidence collection. You have been asked to prepare a set of recommendations on how to handle the following areas and related problems:

Question 1: Forensic plan and policy adherence: How will the investigator and the lab ensure proper QA and QC over computer forensic products?

Question 2: Order of volatility: How do we deal with suppliers, distributors, and end-consumers? Do we offer special pricing to different customer sets?

Question 3: Inventory and warehouse management: How do we handle returns?

Question 4: Customer service: How will customers communicate with us?

Question 5: Security and privacy: How do we protect our intellectual property and customer data?

Question 6: Technology: Should we outsource any applications/functions? What new technology applications are required to accommodate e-business?
