“All assets shall be clearly identified and an inventory of all important assets drawn up and maintained.”

A.12.6.1 Control of technical vulnerabilities

“Timely information about technical vulnerabilities of information systems being used shall be obtained, the organization's exposure to such vulnerabilities evaluated, and appropriate measures taken to address the associated risk.”

A.15.2.2 Technical compliance checking

“Information systems shall be regularly checked for compliance with security implementation standards”
