Market Overview

Digital evidence management (DEM) refers to the procedures, policies, and systems used to collect, store, manage, and preserve digital evidence in a way that ensures its admissibility and reliability in legal proceedings. Digital evidence management (DEM) encompasses a wide range of activities, including the collection, analysis, storage, and presentation of digital evidence. These activities must follow strict legal and procedural guidelines, as well as the same evidence rules as traditional physical evidence, to ensure the evidence's integrity and authenticity. Digital evidence management (DEM) has gained significant traction in recent years as an essential component of modern law enforcement and criminal investigations. This is due to the proliferation of digital devices and platforms, which have made digital evidence a critical source of information in criminal cases.
