An organization has experienced repeated oversights when devices are redeployed, with no official records updated. Which strategy best maintains accurate information from purchase through retirement?
Conduct routine inspections to identify discrepancies in hardware records
Coordinate spreadsheets across departments, allowing teams to track hardware centrally
Establish a centralized record that updates as device statuses are changed
Ask system owners to email updates when hardware is modified
Maintaining a unified source of truth that is updated when equipment changes occur helps keep data accurate and helps security teams discover irregularities. Relying on spreadsheets or delayed methods can lead to oversights over time. A centralized approach ties ownership, status, and usage details together, reinforcing governance.
