Why is it important to consider privacy laws when conducting forensic investigations?

To ensure that the forensic tools are up to date

To speed up the investigation process

To ensure that evidence is collected in compliance with legal requirements and respects individuals' privacy rights

To prevent the investigation from being too expensive

An incident responder needs to create a forensic image of a suspect's hard drive for analysis. The drive is connected to a forensic workstation via a write-blocker. Which step is essential to verify that the image is an exact bit-for-bit copy?

Boot the suspect drive in a virtual machine to confirm the OS loads.

Ensure the write-blocker is powered on and connected to the workstation.

Check that the drive's partition table is visible in the forensic software.

Compare the SHA-256 hash of the original drive with the hash of the image file.
