Chain Of Custody Log Drafterv0.1.2

A police digital forensics examiner seizes laptops, mobile devices, and cloud exports during a criminal investigation and must create a court-admissible chain-of-custody log that withstands defense challenges. The skill enforces hash-verification gates and flags missing serial numbers or timestamps as required for admissibility.

An enterprise DFIR responder handles a ransomware incident, collecting memory captures, forensic images, and network pcaps across multiple hosts. The skill drafts acquisition worksheets and examiner-action logs aligned to NIST SP 800-86 for internal investigation and potential regulatory reporting.

An e-discovery custodian or litigation support professional collects electronically stored information under FRCP obligations, using the skill to draft chain-of-custody records for emails, cloud exports, and endpoint images. The output is reviewed by counsel to ensure preservation and authentication requirements are documented.

An internal investigation lead collects company-owned devices and cloud account data during a workplace misconduct inquiry, needing a defensible CoC that references employer policy as search authority. The skill captures custodian roles, write-blocker usage, and hash values for HR and legal review.

A forensic examiner supporting a regulatory inquiry preserves and documents evidence from financial systems and mobile devices under a preservation notice, using the skill to draft acquisition worksheets and transfer logs. The draft is reviewed by counsel before submission to the regulator.

A cloud-based platform where forensic examiners and DFIR teams subscribe to generate, store, and manage chain-of-custody drafts with audit trails and hash-verification gates. The tool integrates with case management systems and enforces NIST/ISO frameworks.

On-premise or private-cloud deployment licensed to corporate legal, compliance, and e-discovery teams that need standardized CoC documentation across internal investigations. Includes training, support, and integration with existing e-discovery platforms.

A free tier allows individual examiners to draft basic CoC logs, while premium features unlock advanced hash-verification workflows, multi-framework templates (ACPO, RFC 3227), and export to court-ready formats. Upsell to teams and enterprises.
