Overview

EN ISO/IEC 30121:2016 (ISO/IEC 30121:2015) defines a governance framework for managing digital forensic risk and achieving forensic readiness. It guides Governing bodies (owners, board members, directors, senior executives) on preparing an organization for digital investigations before they occur. The standard focuses on strategic decisions affecting the retention, availability, access and cost‑effectiveness of digital evidence disclosure, and is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations.

Key Topics

  • Governance principles: responsibility, strategy, acquisition, performance, conformance and human behaviour - aligned with ISO/IEC 38500.
  • Framework elements: stakeholder mandate, establishment, evaluate, direct and monitor - providing the governance lifecycle for digital forensic risk.
  • Strategic processes:
    • Archival strategy - policies for preserving potential evidence.
    • Discovery strategy - how to locate and identify relevant digital evidence.
    • Disclosure strategy - decision-making and controls for legal disclosure.
    • Digital forensic capability strategy - building in-house or outsourced forensic skills and tools.
    • Risk compliance strategy - aligning forensic readiness with legal, regulatory and business risk criteria.
  • Metrics and measurement:
    • Key Goal Indicators (KGIs) to measure strategic objectives.
    • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for operational performance of strategies.
    • Key Business Indicators (KBIs) to assess variance between goals and performance.

Applications

EN ISO/IEC 30121 supports practical implementation of forensic readiness across business, legal and IT functions:

  • Boards and executive leadership can use the framework to set strategic direction and accept ownership of digital forensic risk.
  • CIOs, CISOs and IT governance teams can integrate archival, discovery and disclosure strategies into IT policies.
  • Legal, compliance and eDiscovery teams can define requirements for evidence availability and chain‑of‑custody considerations.
  • Incident response, digital forensics practitioners and managed service providers can align operational capability with governance expectations.
  • Risk managers and auditors can apply KGIs/KPIs/KBIs to demonstrate performance and conformance with corporate risk appetite.

Benefits include reduced litigation costs, faster investigations, better defensibility of evidence and improved alignment between IT operations and legal obligations.

Related Standards

  • ISO/IEC 38500 - Governance of IT for the organization (principles referenced).
  • ISO Guide 73:2009 - Risk management - Vocabulary.
  • ISO/IEC 35802 - Governance of IT framework and model (complementary guidance).

EN ISO/IEC 30121 is a strategic standard for organizations seeking to formalize forensic readiness, manage digital evidence lifecycle risks, and demonstrate accountable governance of digital forensic capabilities.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
