Guide to Enterprise Assets and Software
Published on April 6, 2022
CIS simplified the language in v8 to provide enterprises guidance on how enterprise assets and software are organized in the CIS Controls and to help explain what we mean when we say things like “Establish and Maintain Detailed Enterprise Asset Inventory.”
Adopters of the CIS Controls should use this guide as a reference during activities such as implementation or auditing to verify that all in-scope assets are being accounted for and are secured.
As of June 23, 2025, the MS-ISAC has introduced a fee-based membership. Any potential reference to no-cost MS-ISAC services no longer applies.
