Information Asset

An Information Asset is a definable piece of information, stored in any manner which is recognised as 'valuable' to the organisation. The information which comprises an Information Asset, may be little more than a prospect name and address file; or it may be the plans for the release of the latest in a range of products to compete with competitors.

Irrespective, the nature of the information assets themselves, they all have one or more of the following characteristics :-

They are recognised to be of value to the organisation.
They are not easily replaceable without cost, skill, time, resources or a combination.
They form a part of the organisation's corporate identity, without which, the organisation may be threatened.
Their Data Classification would normally be Proprietary, Highly Confidential or even Top Secret.
