BCS CISMP-V9 Exam - Topic 7 Question 78 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's CISMP-V9 exam
Question #: 78
Topic #: 7
[All CISMP-V9 Questions]

When a digital forensics investigator is conducting art investigation and handling the original data, what KEY principle must they adhere to?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The key principle a digital forensics investigator must adhere to is ensuring competence and the ability to justify their actions. This is crucial because the integrity of the investigation and the evidence must be maintained. Competence ensures that the investigator has the necessary skills and knowledge to handle and analyze the data correctly. Being able to justify their actions is important for the legal process, as every step of the investigation may be scrutinized in court.This principle aligns with the Information Security Management Principles, which emphasize the importance of procedural/people security controls and technical security controls to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.Reference: BCS Foundation Certificate in Information Security Management Principles1.

Okay, I've got this. Based on the options, it looks like the vendor can respond to either a vendor tiering assessment or a vendor risk assessment. I'll go with vendor risk assessment since that's a more common type of vendor assessment.
