An Overview of All Support Assets in Your Organization
To meet the needs of information and cybersecurity, as well as the requirements of NIS2, it is essential to maintain a catalog of your organization’s primary information assets and an overview of all supporting assets. Practically speaking, there are various types of supporting assets, each with specific dependencies.
To manage these supporting assets, you will use a dedicated set of records. This register will be used alongside the primary assets register, as well as records of risks, vulnerabilities, and threats. This approach provides a comprehensive overview of all the context needed for effective risk management and compliance with NIS2 or the Cyber Security Act.
Key benefits include:
- An overview of all primary assets
- A catalog of primary assets across the company
- Detailed asset cards for each individual primary asset
- Management of dependencies on secondary (support and technical) assets
