Why it is important to conduct an inventory of business-critical managed data.
Carrying out an inventory of critical data managed in the company makes it possible to identify the level of vulnerability and threats of each corporate asset. This type of knowledge will allow decisions to be made, at later stages in the security assessment process, on whether the security policies applied are effective, to evaluate possible countermeasures and to identify attack and mitigation scenarios
Within the inventory, the types of data managed within the company's assets, the different origins, the purpose of data processing, the retention policy and other information will be tracked.
