Evidence is an essential aspect of fraud investigation. Once a company receives a report and finds strong indications of fraud, the first step is to preserve\u00a0all\u00a0the\u00a0potential evidence at the scene while awaiting further handling by a professional investigator.<\/p>\n
Potential evidence could be non-digital or digital. Potential digital evidence, could be\u00a0documents, pictures, video, etc., that are stored in electronic devices – laptops, computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. – are vulnerable to damage or loss. Often,\u00a0the company has no clue that a careless way in preserving the potential evidence can lead to mistakenly modify or eliminate them that profoundly affects the outcome of the investigation.<\/p>\n
Therefore, a company\u2019s\u00a0first response\u00a0should be done\u00a0very carefully. The first thing they should do is to not\u00a0touch these\u00a0devices and ensure that\u00a0they stay in place.<\/p>\n
“The\u00a0first response you should take to preserve the potential evidence\u00a0on your device,\u00a0depends on the condition of the device\u00a0itself. If the\u00a0device is\u00a0a computer that is\u00a0switched\u00a0on,\u00a0you should\u00a0leave it on. Should you need to turn it off, then it can only be done by unplugging the devices from the power source. This initial step is important in terms of\u00a0digital forensics\u00a0for\u00a0maintaining the data stored in\u00a0the\u00a0memory,” explained Bastian Galih, Digital Forensic Specialist Integrity Indonesia.<\/p>\n
The next step\u00a0is to\u00a0take over all of the potential suspect’s access to\u00a0the\u00a0potential evidence to prevent any attempts of\u00a0modification or removal of evidence. For example, the company will need to take\u00a0away\u00a0all of their devices in a way that complies with the applicable rules or policies,\u00a0and\u00a0the company should\u00a0also take\u00a0over the potential suspect’s corporate email access.<\/p>\n
“Usually companies use two email bases, such as the Post Office Protocol (POP) with\u00a0Ms. Outlook,\u00a0and the Web with Gmail. Different types of emails would require\u00a0different treatments. POP-based email can be checked directly because the data (potential evidence) is on the device, while web-based email checking can be done by applying cloud forensics,” he explained.<\/p>\n
Another method\u00a0is that the company can put the potential suspect on leave for as long as necessary.<\/p>\n
All of these methods\u00a0are the initial steps that a company is required\u00a0to take and are often key factors in the detection\u00a0and \u00a0prevention of\u00a0fraud, as well as with recovering losses, and assisting in legal proceedings.<\/p>\n
