Evidence Collection and Preservation
Collect relevant documents, statements, electronic communications, and physical evidence. Preserve integrity with secure storage, chain of custody, and limited access.
Privacy and Access Controls
Access to case materials is restricted to authorized personnel; use role-based permissions and secure systems to prevent leaks.

Align with legal requirements and internal policies; address privacy rights under applicable laws and organizational guidelines.
