Asset Management

Know what you own — and keep it under control.

Build a living inventory of all assets, owners, and relationships. Track lifecycle, classify data, and surface gaps that impact risk, incidents, and audits.

A single source of truth for every asset

Hardware, software, data stores, vendors, APIs, cloud resources—classified, owned, and auditable.

Inventory

Unified asset register

Track asset class, category, type, owner, location, business unit, and lifecycle state with custom fields.

Classify

CIA & data labels

Score Confidentiality/Integrity/Availability and apply data classifications to drive risk and policy controls.

Relate

Dependencies & topology

Model upstream/downstream relationships (apps ↔ DBs ↔ services) to understand blast radius and impact.

Own

Clear accountability

Assign owners/custodians, define SLAs, and escalate automatically on gaps or overdue tasks.

Track

QR/Barcode labels

Generate labels to check in/out, view asset records, and log custody or maintenance on the fly.

Evidence

Audit-ready history

Immutable activity logs, attachments, and change reasons to support audits and investigations.

Tip: Link assets to risks, incidents, and policies to answer “what’s the impact?” in seconds.

Key features

Built for real-world estates—from laptops to Kubernetes.

Hardware & endpoints

Model desktops, laptops, mobiles, servers, and network gear with warranty, vendor, and maintenance data.

Software & SaaS

Track licenses, vendors, versions, environments, and EOL/EOS with renewal reminders and approvals.

Data stores

Catalogue databases, buckets, and shares; define data owners, classification, retention, and encryption state.

Cloud resources

Register AWS/Azure/GCP resources (instances, RDS/SQL, storage, functions) and map them to services.

Relationships

Connect apps to infra and shared services. Visualise service maps and concentration risk.

Lifecycle & checks

Procure → in service → maintenance → retire. Capture handovers, health checks, and decommission evidence.

Workflow: from discovery to decommission

Opinionated defaults that match your CMDB-lite model.

1

Discover / import

Bulk import CSV/JSON or connect discovery sources. Normalize names and dedupe by fingerprints.

2

Assign ownership

Set business owner and custodian. Enforce ownership SLAs and highlight orphaned assets.

3

Classify & score

Apply data labels and CIA scoring. These values flow into risk calculations automatically.

4

Link dependencies

Relate apps, DBs, services, and vendors. Understand upstream/downstream impacts.

5

Maintain & retire

Track maintenance, patch status, incidents, and secure decommission with data destruction proof.

Smart tags: auto-tag assets by source, location, environment, or owner to simplify filters and access control.

Integrations

Sync sources to keep your register living and accurate.

  AD / Entra / Okta
  EDR & Vuln Scanners

Security & compliance

Same hardened, multi-tenant foundation as the rest of PurpleWASP.

RBAC & SSO

Least-privilege roles and SSO/SAML/SCIM for centralized identity and provisioning.

Encryption

TLS in transit; at-rest encryption; optional field-level encryption for sensitive attributes.

Immutable logs

Change history with actor, timestamp, and reason codes—exportable for audits.

Policies & retention

Retention/Legal hold; link asset evidence to policy requirements and standards (ISO 27001, GDPR).

Segmented data

Per-org databases and strict query boundaries to prevent cross-tenant access.

Control mapping

Map controls to asset classes to ensure baseline hardening and coverage.

Why PurpleWASP vs. spreadsheets & ad-hoc tooling

Reduce blind spots, raise accountability, and tie assets to risk and policy.

Capability Manual / Ad-hoc PurpleWASP Asset Management
Inventory accuracy Static; frequent drift Synced from sources; dedupe & normalization
Ownership Unclear or missing Enforced owner/custodian with SLA & escalations
Relationships Rarely modeled Topologies & dependencies → impact awareness
Compliance evidence Manual collation Immutable logs, attachments, and exports
Risk linkage Decoupled from register CIA & classification feed risk and policy modules

FAQs

Answers for asset owners and auditors.

Can we bulk import and update assets?
Yes—CSV/API imports with upsert logic, dedupe, and field mapping templates.
Do you support QR/Barcode labels?
Yes—generate labels to scan for quick lookups, custody changes, and maintenance logs.
How do data classifications work?
Define schemes (e.g., Public/Internal/Confidential) and apply per asset; they drive controls and risk weighting.
Can assets link to incidents and risks?
Absolutely—assets are first-class in the Risk and Incident modules for end-to-end traceability.

Add your first assets

Create assets manually or import from CSV/API. Assign owners and set classification/CIA.

New Asset Bulk Import

Map relationships

Connect apps, DBs, services, and vendors. Generate service maps for impact analysis.
