Your link to www.csoonline.com/printlinks doesn't go anywhere. Would like to see the sample form.

Good article, it should have gone into more detail. I have a law office currently dealing with a case that involves data on a hard drive including deleted files. I have stressed to the law firm about maintaining a chain of custody. Also the data has to be recovered from the drive in a defend able manner. If during the process of recovering data the drive is changed in any manner even a date change on a file can jeopardize all the data recovered. I recommend using a company that is well established in the process necessary to recover defend able digital data.

The Department of Veterans affairs has had its share of lost data incidents; many of them preventable if a Chain of Custody was formally in place at the sites of occurrence.
Speaking of responsible action: Whay have you not fixed the link to the sample form. This was reported to you over a year ago??
