Legal, technical and scientific standardization is presented as complementary approach to the CoE and EU legal initiatives to improve cross-border exchange of digital evidence. Policy-making for digital evidence is considered as a network of standards between different stakeholders (forensics specialists, law enforcement and service providers), which can be equally sound in law-making, court proceedings and forensic science, because it would provide a basis to guide or interpret legal fact-finding, but it would also have the flexibility to adjust to specific jurisdictions, other legal domains, and technologies in an agile manner.
