These types are not created by a scan. You create them by hand to give the
inventory its organizational frame.
You create Locations as environment data under
Administration › Environment Data › Locations, not as assets. See
Manage Environment Data.
Organization
Six types map how the business works and what it uses and holds:
Business Service, Process, Department, Person, Application and
Information. All six carry only a name; their value lies in the relations
you draw from them to the inventoried technology.
Person connects the organization to the accounts: every Docusnap365 user is
also tracked as a person, but not every person has a user account.
The scan finds installations, not applications — that a database, an
application server and a web frontend run on three servers does not yet say
they form one application together. Application is therefore not the same
as Software Product, see
Software and Integrations. And a server
is not protected for its own sake, but for the Information on it: only
recorded separately can its different protection needs be told apart.
This level is the foundation for protection needs in the ISMS — the
technology comes from the scan, its meaning from this level.
Further types without captured data
Samsung, Samsung Galaxy Tab and Windows Surface can be created but carry
no structured view — no scan module fills them.
How you set the organization and location assignment when creating an asset
is described in Creating Assets. The protection needs
built on this level are described in
ISMS.
