CWA 17865:2022

    Also known as: Mobile Forensic Tool Checklist

    CEN-CENELEC workshop agreement with requirements for an end-to-end mobile forensic investigation chain and a checklist for tool selection.

    The document is one of the few European attempts to unify selection and evaluation of forensic tools. The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (incl. EC3) (Europol) report names it as a starting point for uniform standard operating procedures and for a central testing body. For companies it serves as a contract annex where mobile devices are part of an investigation.
