Factors influencing the adoption of digital forensic in Malaysian organisation: a systematic review using PRISMA

The digitalisation of devices and systems has become a defining feature of technological advancement in the modern era. This particular scenario is considered to have a major impact on the increasing recognition of Digital Forensics (DF) as a valuable tool for investigative procedures in assisting organisations, especially Malaysian Information Technology Organisations (MITO) in resolving issues related to digital incidents that occur in their organisations. However, MITO in Malaysia who are not exposed to the use of DF in developing countries have a negative impact on digital evidence investigations which can reduce the time to resolve digital incidents, cost effective, impactful, and efficient. This paper looks at the variables that MITO in Malaysia can consider when deciding whether to adopt Digital Forensics or not. PRISMA is the reference methodology used in this study to determine these factors and create an early adoption model. Eleven factors that influence the decision to adopt Digital Forensics were identified by the methodology. According to the premise of the TOE framework, these factors are organised into three dimensions: technology, organisation, and environment. This study contributes by addressing the key motivators that characterize the adoption of innovations at the organisational level, where they will then be used to develop an adoption model, and an understanding of the Digital Forensics context.
