Questions to Ask Before Buying Forensic Image Enhancement Software

Apr 1, 2026

BUYER’S GUIDE

Your Examiners Shouldn’t Be Your Chain of Custody Strategy.

Forensic image enhancement tools vary widely in how they handle chain of custody, original preservation, and audit documentation. A gap in any one of those areas can go unnoticed until evidence is challenged in court.

This guide gives you the questions to ask any vendor before you buy.

A few of the questions inside:

  • Is original preservation enforced by the software, or by the examiner saving a copy manually?
  • Does the audit trail require any action from the examiner, or does it run automatically?
  • When does chain of custody documentation begin at import, or after enhancement starts?

Plus 8 more across enhancement tools, non-destructive workflow, court-ready output, and vendor experience.
