Isc2 Cissp 1 7 1 Understand Requirements For Investigation Types

There are five main types of investigations: administrative, criminal, civil, regulatory, and those related to industry standards like electronic discovery (eDiscovery). Administrative investigations examine operational or policy violations internally, while criminal investigations are conducted by law enforcement to investigate criminal law violations. Civil investigations are conducted internally on behalf of legal teams for civil trials. Regulatory investigations are performed by government agencies when violations are suspected. eDiscovery facilitates processing electronic information for legal disclosure according to a nine step reference model.

Electronic Discovery Reference Model (9 steps):

1. Information Governance - ensures information is well organized

2. Identification - locates information covered by a discovery request

3. Preservation - protects discoverable information against deletion and/or


alteration

4. Collection - gathers information centrally for use in the discovery process

5. Processing - screens collected information to filter out unnecessary


information prior to review

6. Review - examination of remaining information to determine what information


needs to be provided to comply with discovery request, and which information
may be protected, and therefore would not be provided

7. Analysis - deep inspection of content & context of remaining information

8. Production - places information into form that can be shared

9. Presentation - displays information to people

Subtypes of common law systems:
