Assets are all the items of an organization, where information is created, processed, stored, transmitted or discarded. Mapping and managing assets are essential to prioritize investments and concentrate efforts on most critical assets that sustain organizational processes.
Modulo Risk Manager automates the asset management process by providing asset inventory (of technological and non-technological assets, like people, process and facilities), centralized repository and risk management. It enables to gather and store evidence, manage the compliance with all standards you are subject to and can improve the organization’s external audit posture.
Assets can be imported from Active Directory, MS Excel spreadsheet or XML files. Each asset has attributes that allow the organization to identify, prioritize investments and concentrate efforts on most critical assets that sustain organizational processes.
One of the most difficult problems is identify witch business process support that particular asset, if that asset gets compromised which business process may be impacted. Several companies don’t have this information complete mapped. Some companies usually have a mapping between applications and technological assets or even a list of applications that support a particular business process. Using a two layers approach, Risk Manager will map all assets to intermediate system layer, and then map those systems to business process. Finally a Visio represent graphically all those connection and dependencies, providing the first step to ingress in Governance Risk and Compliance world (GRC).
