Risk-based asset inventory and classification enables systematic identification of the digital, physical, and informational assets owned by the organization, classification according to risk impact, and association of these assets with business continuity. This structure is defined as a fundamental requirement in standards such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, NIS2, and KVKK.
Foundation of Security: No matter how many controls we implement, security remains deficient if the protected asset is unknown.
Risk-Based Decision Making: Classification of critical assets according to business impact analysis ensures effective resource utilization.
Need for Compliance: Frameworks such as ISO 27001:2022, KVKK, and NIS2 require the classification of assets.
Incident Response & Continuity Planning: An effective crisis plan cannot be prepared without identifying critical assets.
Budget & Investment Planning: Security investments are directed towards priority assets.
Identification of Asset Types: Physical, digital, information, human, and software assets are categorized.
Establishment of Inventory Platform: CMDB, IAM, asset discovery tools, or manual inventory systems are created.
Business Continuity and Risk Association: Each asset is matched with business processes, types of threats, and levels of impact.
Creation of Classification Policies: Assets are classified into levels such as “very critical, high, medium, low.”
Ownership and Responsibility Assignment: Responsible units and individuals for the assets are identified (data owner model).
Design of Update and Monitoring Processes: Revision cycles and control mechanisms are established for the sustainability of the inventory.
Creating a Corporate Asset Inventory: Making all digital, physical, and human assets visible.
Developing a Risk-Based Classification Model: Assigning class levels for each asset with a CIA (Confidentiality-Integrity-Availability) rating.
Documentation for ISO 27001 and NIS2 Compliance: Creating asset inventories, classification policies, and ownership matrices.
Selection of Inventory Tools and Platforms: Evaluating CMDB, ITAM, asset discovery, and auto-tagging technologies.
Establishment of Asset Ownership and RACI Model: Identifying responsible, approving, contributing, and informing parties for each asset.
Integration of Incident Response and Continuity: Matching critical assets with crisis plans.
Annual Review and Automatic Update Processes: Establishing an integrated asset update cycle with change management.
