What’s affected?
If you can’t answer that quickly and confidently, you’re already behind.
A solid asset inventory — knowing exactly which laptops, mobile devices, and cloud apps your firm owns (and who has access) — is the foundation of every response plan.
It’s also one of the things an examiner will ask about.
At Tech Experts, we often find firms with partial or outdated inventories — missing old laptops, unmanaged mobile devices, or vendors logging in from personal computers.
Those small gaps can turn a minor issue into a reportable event.
Start here:
• List all firm-owned computers, mobile devices, and SaaS apps.
• Note where sensitive data lives and who can access it.
• Update quarterly and during onboarding/off boarding.
“Know what you own” isn’t just IT hygiene — it’s the first step toward a defensible cybersecurity posture.
