Asset register

I am progressing on with the asset register for the organisation however I am unsure what information I need to include with regards to our server information. We rent an office off the local authority which allows us to have a channel to connect with the internet via a IT company who are ISO 27001 certified. Our main infrastructure is hosted at Data Centre who are also ISO 27001 certified. Do I need to include all of this on my asset register or would this be covered in the Supplier section?

Answer:
Simply you need to include in your asset register those assets that you can manage, so if you have a server and this server has software that you can manage (Virtual Machines, web server, email server, etc), you can include this information in your asset register.

Regarding the services provided by other companies (internet connection, housing, etc) you can see as service, and you are right, you can implement security controls related to suppliers (section A.15 Supplier relationships). Anyway, remember that the implementation of secu rity controls need to be performed after the results of the risk analysis.
