Chain of Custody in Compliance

Chain of custody in compliance refers to the process of documenting the control, transfer, and storage of evidence or records during an investigation or audit. This ensures that all data is accounted for and remains secure and untampered with throughout the compliance process. Maintaining a clear chain of custody is crucial for upholding the integrity of an investigation or audit.

Documenting the chain of custody helps organizations demonstrate due diligence and meet regulatory standards during internal and external reviews.
