Ownership refers to the responsible person or department who is accountable for the security and management of the asset. Assigning ownership ensures that there is clear accountability and responsibility for each asset. This task is crucial as it helps in identifying the key stakeholders and contact persons for each asset. It also helps in establishing a communication channel for any security-related concerns or updates. You may face challenges in identifying the correct ownership for each asset. To mitigate this, you can consult with relevant stakeholders and departments.
