Abstract: Cloud forensics earn more and more ground as the number of incidents in cloud environments raise daily. Software engineers seek solutions in order to elicit and model cloud forensic requirements, thus implementing software systems and services in a forensic enabled manner. This paper presents a cloud forensic-enabled framework that assists software engineers to understand the role of the design of forensic-enabled cloud services in a cloud forensic investigation. A validation of the forensic requirements is also presented by aligning the stages of cloud forensic investigation process with the proposed forensic requirements. Thus, emphasis is given to the role of the forensic requirements and their necessity in supporting the investigation process. The aim of this work is to ensure that stakeholders are aware of the cloud forensic readiness of their services by providing a tool/framework that assists them in calculating the compliance level of any given cloud service.
