Purpose
Your Organization cannot protect what it does not know it has. This policy establishes how Your Organization identifies, inventories, classifies, and tracks its information assets — hardware, software, and the data they hold — across their lifecycle, so that every other security control (access, patching, monitoring, disposal) can be applied consistently and completely.
Scope
This policy applies to all assets owned, leased, or managed by Your Organization that store, process, or transmit company or customer data, including servers, endpoints, mobile devices, network equipment, cloud resources, SaaS accounts, and the software and licenses installed on them. It applies to IT Operations, Engineering, and any team that provisions or retires assets.
