A.8.1.1 Inventory of assets
A.8.1.1 in ISO 27001:2013 (ISO/IEC 27001:2013). All ISO 27001:2013 controls held. Open ISO 27001:2013 on the standards site.
The control as we hold it
Inventory of assets. Assets tied to information and to information processing facilities are identified, and an inventory of them is compiled and kept current. (A minor later wording change, dated 2017, clarified this inventory requirement; that wording is not held.) As an Annex A reference control it is compared with the controls chosen in risk treatment (6.1.3 c) and recorded in the Statement of Applicability, included with a reason and an implementation status or excluded with a reason (6.1.3 d). Carried into ISO/IEC 27001:2022 as A.5.9.
