Evidence Collection 

Describe the approach necessary to ensure that all evidence is gathered properly and that the chain of custody has been maintained. Then, evaluate which step in the outlined approach is the most likely to be skipped or not executed properly.

The chain of custody follows up a special procedure that needs to be observed by every security expert. In this case, the administrator should first inform the police of the event. Next, crime scene specialists need to be left to handle the matter. The evidence that is collected is crucial for the investigation as they act as proof. They normally come with tools that facilitate better collection of information that is necessary for the research (Evans, 2014). The security administrator should ensure that the evidence is not tampered with to allow room for a proper investigation to be conducted. The search for any possible witness that saw the suspicious activity is also a necessity in this case as it facilitates the time contribution of validated information that is important for the entire process.
