A Study on the Design of Digital Forensic Field Support Organization

This study is to explore the digital forensic field support organization by applying the organizational redesign model. The ultimate goal is to come up with an organizational redesign plan. The National Police Agency and local government digital forensic organizations provide on-site support for all criminal investigations, as well as cybercrime in their agencies. In the past, field support organizations were only responsible for analyzing the digital evidence seized by the investigators. In recent years, however, the scope has been growing, including seizure search and network tracking technology support. The current comprehensive field support work needs to be enhanced not only for effectiveness but also for professionalism. There is a need to create a specialized organization dedicated to each task by separating the field support task from the evidence analysis task.
