Electronic discovery (e-discovery) involves identifying, collecting, and producing electronically stored
information (ESI) as evidence in legal proceedings.
This includes emails, documents, and other digital files relevant to the case.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
A . Chain of custody: Refers to the process of maintaining and documenting evidence handling.
C . Evidence tampering: Describes the illegal alteration of evidence, not the process of discovery.
D . Electronic review: Involves reviewing digital information but is part of the broader e-discovery
process.
EC-Council CISO Reference:
Covers the importance of e-discovery in legal and compliance contexts, ensuring organizations are
prepared to handle digital evidence properly.
