Phase 2 - A suggested method would be to include in your policy, a statement that mandates the creation and maintenance of a detailed inventory of all hardware assets, including but not limited to servers, workstations, laptops, mobile devices, network devices, and peripherals. The inventory should record essential information such as device type, manufacturer, model, serial number, location, and intended use. Regular audits and updates should be conducted to ensure accuracy and completeness. Additionally, the policy should define responsibilities for inventory management and establish procedures for reporting and addressing any discrepancies or missing items.
