Inventory of assets

I need assistance coming up with what could be company wide assets and risks. I have laptops, desktops, paper documentation, electronic documentation, fax/printer, off-site/external/outsourced services and the process that involves their deactivation of their accounts once terminated, and USB devices and memory sticks. These would be company wide assets that would apply to the company as a whole. Physical security and building management will be worked on by the building manager. For company wide assets, I cannot think of anymore... company assets that will need some sort of control that will be relevant for every employee. This would also exclude anything IT related such as software, cables, server, etc. What do you think could be more company wide assets that need to be added?

Answer: I saw that you covered assets most related to hardware and information media. Considering the ISO 27005 standard (information security risk management), annex B (identification and valuation of assets and impact evaluation), I think you should also consider the following for assets that will need some sort of control that will be relevant for every employee:
- Specific types of information (e.g., those with high cost to produce or replace, those related to business strategy and performance, people's privacy, etc.)
- People in specific positions (e.g., decision makers, key department managers, developers, products/processes specialists, etc.)

In the Inventory of Assets template that comes with your toolkit you have a list of assets you can consider (sheet "Checklist of assets").

If you still have any doubts, included in your toolkit you can schedule a meeting with one of our experts so he can provide you additional support. To schedule a meeting you can access this link: https://advisera.com/27001academy/consultation/
