• proceed to a first boot process of the information handling system subsequent to the BIOS update, wherein the first boot process includes to:
• determine whether to perform a forensic cleanup subsequent to the BIOS update based on the notification to the embedded controller;
• and
• in response to a determination to perform the forensic cleanup, update pre-boot driver configuration data;
• and
• boot the information handling system.
