Supervision-Based Digital Forensics Framework to Respect Ethics using Participatory Action Research Method

Abstract

The handling of digital forensic cases significantly impacts the public interest. A lack of integrity in the digital forensic process, often caused by non-adherence to ethical codes, can result in a loss of trust in investigation outcomes. This research aims to identify, analyze, and evaluate existing digital forensic frameworks. While many countries have developed standard frameworks tailored to their specific needs, a notable gap exists in Indonesia, which requires attention from both academics and practitioners in the field of digital forensics. This study employed the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, engaging stakeholders from both industry and academia. The result is the SUFREE framework (Supervisory Framework to Respect Ethics) which were developed through literature reviews and stakeholder discussions. The new framework is expected to enhance the quality and professionalism of Indonesian digital forensics
