You keep evidence defensible by controlling access, documenting every handling step, using repeatable acquisition methods, and maintaining traceable records for review.
Defensibility comes from integrity and traceability. A strong process shows who handled evidence, what actions were taken, and why those actions did not compromise reliability.
That means using controlled storage and access, consistent forms and logs, and acquisition practices that can be repeated and reviewed independently. It also means documenting tools, versions, settings, and decision points, not just outputs.
When evidence handling is disciplined, findings remain credible even when challenged by auditors, legal counsel, or external reviewers.
Document decisions while you work. Reconstructing chain-of-evidence details later creates gaps that can undermine confidence, even if the technical analysis is correct.
“A result without traceability is an opinion, not evidence.”
