Explanation

This question maps directly to CHFI v11 objectives under Computer Forensics Fundamentals and Standards and Best Practices Related to Computer Forensics, specifically the ENFSI Best Practices for the Forensic Examination of Digital Technology. ENFSI (European Network of Forensic Science Institutes) guidelines focus primarily on ensuring that digital evidence is handled in a secure, reliable, and forensically sound manner so that it remains admissible and defensible in legal proceedings. The examiner's primary concern under ENFSI best practices is the secure handling of digital evidence, which includes proper acquisition, preservation, documentation, storage, and chain of custody management. These practices ensure evidence integrity, prevent contamination or alteration, and allow results to be independently verified. CHFI v11 emphasizes that forensic investigators must be able to demonstrate that evidence has not been tampered with and that standardized procedures were followed throughout the investigation lifecycle. While GDPR, ISO/IEC 17025, and ISO/IEC 27001 are important regulatory and security frameworks, they are not the core focus of ENFSI forensic examination guidelines. ENFSI is evidence-centric, prioritizing secure evidence handling and methodological consistency. Therefore, establishing secure evidence-handling protocols is the correct and CHFI-aligned
