Does the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act impact the work of a digital investigator?

The Graham-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) primarily addresses the protection and privacy of consumer financial information held by financial institutions and requires them to establish privacy practices. While this legislation does impose requirements related to data privacy and consumer protection, it does not directly govern the methods or practices of digital investigators in their work.

Digital investigators often focus more on the collection, preservation, analysis, and presentation of digital evidence in various contexts that may include criminal cases, civil disputes, or cybersecurity incidents. Although they must be aware of privacy laws and regulations to ensure that their investigations comply with them, the GLBA itself does not impose significant constraints or directly alter the core practices of digital investigations. Thus, the assertion that it does not impact the work of a digital investigator aligns with the understanding that while they need to be aware of various privacy laws, GLBA is not a primary factor in their investigative processes.
