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
Automated discovery that syncs cloud assets, devices and code repositories into one register, with owners, departments and criticality labels, is exactly the part of an ISMS I can keep alive next to my day job. But the risk side is only ever shown as linking — controls attach to risks, risks attach to assets — and we found no public information on a risk methodology, treatment tracking, or any incident handling, let alone statutory reporting clocks. Strong inventory, a risk process we cannot see. 3 4
