Assets

Ten lifecycle states, each a separate permission

A coordinator can move an asset to review. Only an approver can approve it. The separation is enforced by the permission model rather than left to good behaviour.

  • Draft, intake, review, approved, active, maintenance, change pending, suspended, retired, disposed
  • Confidentiality, integrity, and availability rated independently
  • Valuation policies and methods applied per asset
  • Company-defined custom fields without a schema change

Lifecycle

Transitions are permissioned individually

Submit, send back, send to review, approve, and activate are distinct permissions. That granularity is what makes segregation of duties real rather than aspirational.

  • Lifecycle events recorded for every transition
  • Asset requests with priority and approval decisions
  • Evidence attached at asset level
  • Bulk actions reserved to administrator bundles

Every module ships bundles at this granularity. Segregation-of-duties conflicts are declared as rules, with logged exceptions.

Context

An inventory that connects to the programme

Assets carry typed relationships to each other, named consumers with usage types, and links out to policies, compliance, findings, and controls.

  • Category, type, and subtype hierarchy
  • Environment, data classification, and hosting model as configurable options
  • Consumers with usage type, and asset-to-asset relationships
  • Links to policy, compliance, findings, and controls

Every level links out to risks, controls, policies, findings, assessments, and assets

Framework alignment

Works with your control frameworks

This module shares the platform control library. Map national frameworks and global standards alongside jurisdiction-specific authorities.
