In this research, we have to create a framework to secure and protect these confidential and sensitive documents from two sides. The first aspect is prevention and lies in avoiding and limiting this unacceptable behavior by taking appropriate special measures to protect documents, and on the other side, emergency responses and the discovery of data leakage as soon as possible, addressing it, and detecting the cause of this, as the digital forensic investigation provides the tools and techniques that expose and punish the author of this disgraceful act.
