A structured list of an organisation's key information holdings: what they are, where they live, who owns them, and what rules apply. The register is the heart of the IAR platform.
An information asset register lists an organisation's key holdings (what they are, where they live, who owns them, and what rules apply), so risk, privacy and security controls, and lifecycle obligations can be managed in one place. It is the core of the IAR platform, where every asset rolls up through classes and schedules to the entity that owns it.
At minimum: what each information holding is, where it lives, who owns or stewards it, its value and risk, and the retention and disposal rules that apply. IAR structures this as assets within classes, schedules, and entities.
IAR turns terms like this into working practice: assets classified against your disposal authority, stewarded by position, and ready to evidence.
