ISO 27001:2022 5.9: Inventory of information and other associated assets

The organization is to build and keep current an inventory of its information and other associated assets, with their owners recorded. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): identifies the organization's information and associated assets so they can be protected and properly owned. As an Annex A reference control, it is compared with the controls determined in risk treatment (6.1.3 c) and recorded in the Statement of Applicability as included or excluded, with the justification and implementation status (6.1.3 d); implementation guidance is ISO/IEC 27002:2022 5.9.
