Current CCEs can officially use the Certified Computer Examiner (CCE) title. The Certified Computer Examiner (CCE) is a trademarked phrase and may only be used with the written permission of the ISFCE.
The ISFCE reserves the right to withdraw the approval to use this trademarked logo at any time and for any reason that the ISFCE deems appropriate.
CCE List Serv and ISFCE Discord server members may post questions about technical issues and other issues pertinent to the field and science of computer forensics. Protracted technical discussions should be conducted off-list between individual members or within the appropriate Discord channels.
As solutions are found to problems posted, members are encouraged to advise the general membership of the solution.
While the ISFCE communities are only made available privately within the ISFCE/CCE membership, any text posted to these can be referenced publically. There should not be any expectation of privacy when sharing information to the CCE List Serv or Discord Server. In addition, no comments made within these discussions should be taken as fact and any questions referring to legal matters should be discussed with licensed legal counsel.
