Why it matters

  • An incomplete asset list hides control gaps and distorts actual risk.
  • Coverage is the denominator behind every control metric.

How it works

  1. Build a complete asset inventory.
  2. Define the in-scope population.
  3. Compare it with what the control reaches.
  4. Report the share and the exceptions.
