An ISO 27001 Information Assets Register Template provides a structured way to identify, document, and manage all information assets within your Information Security Management System (ISMS). Organizations rely on a wide range of assets - data, systems, applications, devices, and people. Without a centralized register, it becomes difficult to understand what needs to be protected, who owns it, and how it is secured. This template helps you create a complete inventory of information assets aligned with ISO 27001:2022 requirements, forming the foundation for risk assessment, control implementation, and audit readiness.
If you deliver ISO or governance consulting projects, the Consultant Pack provides reusable documentation frameworks, risk tools, and audit templates across multiple standards. See what’s included →
