Asset Identification and Classification (CSF: ID.AM)

  • Maintain an up-to-date inventory of assets using automated tooling (e.g., CMDB, MDM, CSPM).

  • Classify assets by business criticality, data sensitivity, and threat exposure.

  • Tag all assets for ownership, lifecycle stage, and update responsibility.
