Analyzing an Email Archive for an Electronic Discovery Investigation

  

Scenario

D&B is conducting a very large electronic discovery (eDiscovery) investigation for a major client. This case is so large that dozens of investigators and analysts are working on specific portions of the evidence in parallel to save time and improve efficiency.

Since this is the first time you will be working on this type of investigation for D&B, your manager gives you a “test” (a sample email archive) so she can assess whether you need additional training before you begin working with the rest of the team on the eDiscovery case. Your manager tells you that this archive was extracted from a hard drive image marked “suspect,” but at present nothing more is known about the user. She expects you to examine the archive and document all findings that might be of interest to a forensic investigator. She explains that she will use your report to evaluate your investigation skills, logic and reasoning abilities, and reporting methods.

Tasks

• Review the information about email forensics and Paraben P2 Commander E-mail Examiner (EMX) in the chapter titled “Email Forensics” in the course textbook.

• Using P2 Commander E-mail Examiner, create a case file, select Add Evidence, and import the email archive (filename: Outlook.pst). P2 Commander will automatically begin sorting and indexing if you choose that option.

• Search for information about the user; your goal is to learn as much as possible about who the user is and what he or she has been doing. You may find evidence in the inbox or other mailboxes. You can use E-mail Examiner features to help you keep track of the evidence you identify, for instance, by bookmarking sections of interest and exporting attachments.

• Write a report in which you:

o Document your investigation methods.

o Document your findings. Explain what you found that may be of interest to a forensic investigator, and provide your rationale for including each selection.

CEO'S CHALLENGE

Use the Week 3 Assignment Template [DOCX] to complete this assignment.

Choose a company to base this paper on. You may use a current or former employer, but do not disclose anything confidential. You may pick another organization if you are familiar with their internal (not customer-facing) information systems. You can disguise the organization and populate it with famous names. Made-up companies are problematic because of the amount of detail and realism they require.

You’ve just left an all-hands meeting at this company. The CEO was very upset at the rise of shadow IT projects, a major indicator that the company’s internal information system has failed to meet its needs. Because the current information system is inadequate, inefficient, and outdated, the CEO is inviting everyone in the organization to propose a new operational, decision support, or enterprise information system to replace it. The executives have allocated $5 million to fund the most promising idea.

This is your chance to make a difference in the company (not to mention your own career). Write your proposal as a memo that the entire C-suite will review. Include at least these points, in your own words, to be persuasive:

  1. Identify the main functions of your proposed information system and why they are important to the business.
  2. Describe what types of data your information system will hold and how data quality will be ensured.
  3. Explain how the old information system handles the functions you mentioned, the problems that occur, and why your information system will handle things better.
  4. Offer evidence of feasibility: Show that similar information systems have been built successfully and that they save more money than they cost.

The executives are busy, so keep your memo to 1–4 pages and avoid any extraneous content.

If you use sources to support your writing for this assignment, choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

  • Develop an information systems solution to address an organizational problem.
