Abstract

IoT has become a popular technology and is being applied in various domains such as healthcare, telecommunication, transportation, development of smart homes and cities, etc. The wide application of the technology has exposed it to cyber threats and attacks due to limitations in the technology itself. Without a standardised and holistic approach towards digital forensic investigation, the paper presents a framework based on ISO/IEC 27043 standards that could provide a crucial digital forensic readiness process for organisations to consider when developing security policies and procedures. This research aims to address the limitations encountered by IoT forensic investigations by introducing a DF readiness plan. The proposed framework developed using ISO/IEC 27043 standards would aid organisations in handling security incidents and subsequent forensic investigation processes. The paper presents the process in which data flows during a forensic investigation and the process of DFR. The framework presented emphasises the need for security monitoring tools in the IoT environment in case of a cyber-attack. The study concludes by highlighting the implications and requirements of organisations to align their IoT devices with DFR.
