Explanation

The correct answer is ISO 27041, which provides formal guidance for establishing, maintaining, and continuously improving a digital forensic capability within an organization. According to the CHFI v11 syllabus and Exam Blueprint v4, ISO standards play a critical role in ensuring that forensic processes are repeatable, reliable, legally defensible, and aligned with global best ISO 27041 specifically focuses on forensic readiness, which involves preparing an organization in advance to efficiently respond to digital incidents. This includes defining forensic policies, identifying evidence sources, ensuring tool and process validation, assigning roles and responsibilities, and integrating forensic procedures into incident response and business continuity plans. CHFI v11 emphasizes forensic readiness as a proactive approach that reduces investigation time, lowers costs, and improves evidence quality during cybercrime investigations. By contrast, ISO 27037 (Option C) addresses only the identification, collection, acquisition, and preservation of digital evidence, not the broader capability-building aspect. ISO 27043 (Option A) focuses on incident investigation principles and processes, while ISO 27001 (Option B) defines an information security management system (ISMS) and is not specific to digital forensics
