ChainSec asset register for systems and information assets
Product view from ChainSec: asset register and ownership. Sample data; Swedish interface.

One shared overview

Keep systems and information assets together so you know what needs protection.

Clear ownership

Document who is responsible for each asset and its follow-up.

Classification to guide protection

Use confidentiality, integrity and availability classification and derived protection levels to guide the work.

01 · Assets

Build a shared view of your assets

Start with the systems and information your business depends on. One shared register helps keep structure and responsibility together.

Systems and applications
Register the systems that matter to your business.
Information assets
Document the information you need to protect and keep available.
Ownership
Assign an owner so follow-up has a clear recipient.

02 · Classification

Classify information by its protection needs

Different assets need different protection. Assess information in terms of confidentiality, integrity and availability, known as KRT in Swedish.

  1. Confidentiality

    Assess the need to limit who can access the information.

  2. Integrity

    Assess how important it is that information is correct and is not changed improperly.

  3. Availability

    Assess the need for information to be available when required. Classification supports the derivation of protection levels.

03 · Connections

Connect assets to risks and controls

Documented assets give risk work a clearer foundation. Show what could be affected and which controls you are working with.

Relevant risks

Link risks to the assets they could affect.

Controls

Keep documentation about the asset and relevant controls together.

Priorities

Use asset classification and the risk assessment to guide your next step.

04 · Data protection

Keep assets and data protection records together

Data protection in ChainSec includes the asset register, information sets and an Article 30 register. This gives documentation structure when personal data needs follow-up.

  1. Information sets

    Document the information handled in your business.

  2. Article 30 register

    Keep documentation of personal data processing activities in a register.

  3. Data protection as an add-on

    Data protection is added on top of Risk and requirements within the GRC offering.

Questions about asset register.

What can we register as an asset?

You can register systems, applications and information assets important to the business and connect them to ownership and risks.

What does information classification cover?

You assess protection needs in terms of confidentiality, integrity and availability. ChainSec supports this classification, known as KRT in Swedish, and the derivation of protection levels.

Can each asset have an owner?

Yes. You can document an owner for each asset to make responsibility and follow-up clearer.

How do assets connect to risk work?

Risks can be linked to assets. You can then see which information or systems are affected and use classification to help set priorities.

Is there a register of personal data processing activities?

Data protection includes an Article 30 register and information sets alongside the asset register. It is sold as an add-on to Risk and requirements. The records help structure your work; you remain responsible for assessing your personal data processing.
