Answer: In the inventory of assets you should list anything inside the ISMS's scope that has value to the organization, generally grouping them in terms of processes, information and resources that support them (e.g., hardware, software, network, etc.). To avoid excessive, and sometimes unnecessary effort, if there is no specific reason to list an individual asset separately (e.g., the information on a employee's laptop), you can refer to them as general asset in your inventory (e.g., HR laptop, or corporate laptop, etc.). Regarding additional information, besides the identification o f the asset's owner, an organization is free to decide which information to include that in its evaluation will make the asset management easier (e.g., software version, asset's physical location, etc.).
