Previous Version:
- Cloud Controls Matrix v3.0.1:
- DCS-01: Asset Management
Control Statement
Catalogue and track all relevant physical and logical assets located at all of the CSP's sites within a secured system.
Implementation Guidance
Datacenter personnel should utilize a solution that enables inventory tracking and managing physical locations of servers and other data center assets while eliminating paper and manual processes. A hosted asset tracking solution for servers, switches, data center asset tracking and racks typically uses passive radio frequency identification (RFID), global positioning system (GPS), and/or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technologies.
Auditing Guidance
- Examine the policy relating to defining asset location and disposition.
- Examine the asset registers and determine if they are stored and accessed securely.
