Asset Classification

The MU Asset Classification System is a means for identifying the business value of a system, the criticality of the data stored on or used by a system and the acceptable level of risk for a system. The asset value is determined via a series of questions with responses weighted according to their importance or severity which are then combined to form the asset value. The value will be used by the Information Security & Access Management (ISAM) group to determine a relative priority for responding to incidents should there be a distributed attack.

Questions and Answers

How do I update my responses on the questionnaire?

The responses to the questionnaire can be updated by editing the registration information for the IP address of the system.

What does my asset value mean?
