GCFA Analysts | GIAC Homepage | GCFA Ethics | GCFA Skills |

GCFA certification tests knowledge that is not geared for only law enforcement personnel, but for corporate and organizational incident response and investigation teams that have different legal or statutory requirements compared to a standard law enforcement forensic investigation.

Certified analysts understand requirements from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) , the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). In addition certified professionals have a deep understanding of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and the Wiretap Act. Certified Analysts also are able to articulate evidence admissibility, weight, and how the Daubert/Frye tests are applied.
