Asset & risk management depth
How this is scored
The ISMS core: asset inventory, risk methodology (identification, assessment, treatment), protection-needs inheritance, incident handling with statutory clocks.
0 — No ISMS substance; "information security" is a chapter in the marketing site.
3 — A flat risk list and an asset spreadsheet import; no treatment tracking, no inheritance, incidents live in the ticket system.
5 — Asset and risk management with configurable matrices and treatment tracking; basic incident handling; inheritance and aggregation need manual work.
8 — A real risk backbone: documented methodology (ISO 27005 or equivalent), inherited protection needs across asset relations, incident workflows with statutory reporting clocks (NIS2 24h/72h), risk acceptance with ownership.
10 — Risk management a certifier works inside: complete asset-risk-treatment chain with inheritance, continuity planning, incident reporting with authority export, and risk reporting the executive level actually reads.
The Drafted IT Officer
The asset-and-risk pair is real: asset classes with repeatable protection-need assessments, custom assessment forms per asset class, a BSI-style risk analysis with a whitepaper walking you through it, treatment strategies, and dashboards showing scores over time — exactly the guided, plain-language setup that runs alongside my day job. We found no public information on incident workflows with statutory reporting clocks, and inheritance of protection needs across related assets appears to be manual work, which holds it at the middle rung for me. 6 7
