Is There an Updated Inventory of Information Assets, Classified by Criticality and Protected According to Risk Level?
Table of Contents
Description
wolkvox maintains an up-to-date inventory of information assets, managed within its Information Security Management System (ISMS). This inventory includes all critical components of the wolkvox solution, such as servers, databases, applications, networks, and sensitive data. Each asset is classified and rated according to its level of criticality, allowing the implementation of security controls proportional to the risk it represents. This approach ensures that the most important resources receive appropriate protection, aligned with standards such as ISO/IEC 27001.
The classification and risk management process is carried out through a documented procedure, ensuring traceability and continuous improvement of security measures.
Features
Information Asset Inventory
- Comprehensive coverage: The inventory includes all relevant assets, from cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud Platform) to local equipment and customer data.
- Criticality classification: Assets are categorized based on their business impact (e.g., high, medium, low), considering factors such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
- Periodic updates: The inventory is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect infrastructure changes or newly added assets.
Risk Management and Security Controls
- Risk assessment: Each asset is analyzed to identify vulnerabilities and threats, assigning security controls based on its risk level.
- Proportional controls: Highly critical assets receive robust measures such as advanced encryption, restricted access, and continuous monitoring.
- Layered protection: Technical (e.g., firewalls, encryption), organizational (e.g., access policies), and physical (e.g., data center security) controls are implemented.
Documented Procedures
Clear methodology: The classification and risk management process follows a standardized procedure aligned with ISO 27001 and other best practices.
Defined responsibilities: Specific roles are assigned for inventory updates and control implementation, ensuring accountability and follow-up.
Internal audits: The inventory and associated controls are periodically reviewed through audits to validate their effectiveness.
