This ISO 27001 information asset register template was created specifically for security professionals implementing or maintaining an Information Security Management System. You can systematically document each information asset’s classification, value, location, owner, and applicable security controls all aligned with ISO 27001 clause 8.1 requirements.

When your management team requests visibility into information assets requiring additional protection, you can quickly filter and report on high-value assets with inadequate controls. The structured format ensures you don’t overlook critical information assets that could compromise your organization’s security posture.

Frequently asked questions

What information should I include in my ISO 27001 asset register?

Your asset register should include asset name, type, owner, location, classification level, security requirements, and associated risks. Also document backup procedures, access controls, and recovery time objectives. Remember to include both physical and digital assets that store, process, or transmit sensitive information.

How do I classify information assets in my ISO 27001 register?

Classify information assets based on their confidentiality, integrity, and availability requirements. Create 3-5 classification levels (e.g., public, internal, confidential, restricted) with clear definitions. Consider legal requirements, business impact, and sensitivity when determining each asset’s appropriate classification level.

Should cloud services be included in my ISO 27001 asset register?

Yes, include all cloud services in your asset register, even though you don’t physically control them. Document the service provider, data stored, security certifications, contractual obligations, and your organization’s responsibilities in the shared security model. This demonstrates comprehensive asset management to auditors.
