GRC, Audit Inventory and the Role of Fixed Asset Tracking

IT Asset Tracking is Key to Compliance Efforts

Today's regulatory compliance controls have forced organizations to think differently about how they manage their IT environments. Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) is an increasingly recognized term that reflects the new way that organizations focus on and manage an integrated approach to these three areas.

Companies clearly recognize the urgent need for asset visibility as it relates to compliance and audit efforts. GRC has changed the way companies see their assets. Asset tracking is no longer concerned only with the financial value of an asset. It also encompasses the answers to these key questions about an asset:

  • What role does the asset play?
  • Who has the asset?
  • Who has access to the asset?
  • Where has the asset been throughout its life?
  • Is the asset information available in an audit trail?
