CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 278

Which of the following options should MOST likely be considered when preserving data from a hard drive for forensic analysis? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Licensing agreements
• B. Chain of custody
• C. Incident management documentation
• D. Data integrity
• E. Material safety data sheet
• F. Retention requirements

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D because maintaining a proper Chain of custody ensures that the data's integrity is preserved throughout the forensic process, which is critical for legal validity. Options A, C, E, and F, while potentially relevant in other contexts, do not directly impact the preservation of data integrity or the legal handling of forensic evidence.
