Demystifying ISO 21043: Webinar 4: Part 5: Reporting
This webinar (webinar 4 in a four-webinar series) will introduce attendees to the ISO 21043 Part 5 (Reporting) standard. The speakers will provide an overview of this document, talk about how it was developed, and discuss how and where this document may fit into forensic operations across the United States.
It is the objective of this webinar series to bring greater awareness to these international standards and solicit feedback on their use and application from practitioners. Attendees will obtain a better understanding of how these standards are created and the implications that each part might have in their daily work-related activities.
