secnostic inventory
Asset Inventory is the shared estate view for endpoints, servers, cloud resources, SaaS, software, and ownership.
Many sources, one reconciled asset
Your estate is already described many times over, just inconsistently. Frameworks like ISO 27001 and the CIS Controls put a maintained inventory with a clear owner first. Unknown systems, stale records, and blind spots between IT and OT turn that into a continuous operating task.
What this covers
Central IT administration is not a larger admin console. It is an operating baseline for asset context, risk, and service quality. The CIS Controls and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework start with a dependable view of assets and ownership. That view needs to cover managed IT as well as observed network and OT assets.
For NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls, ISO 27001, NIS2, that operating reality also becomes defensible evidence.
IT teams decide every day on changes, incidents, patch windows, access, network areas, and audits. When Entra ID, Active Directory, EDR, MDM, cloud, virtualization, and ITSM each tell their own truth, every decision gets slower and riskier.
Outcomes
- faster decisions on changes and incidents, because the dependencies are known
- clear accountability for assets, applications, access, and exceptions
- a clear order for EOL/EOS systems, vulnerabilities, and missing owners
What remains unresolved without a shared view
Separate tools create duplicate records, open ownership questions, and audits done by hand.
Shadow IT and stale records
Unknown applications, duplicate records, and retired systems distort the operating picture.
Cloud resources without context
Resources run with no link to owner, usage, service, or dependent systems.
EOL/EOS and open gaps
End-of-support systems and unpatched assets stay attack surface until someone finds them.
No one is responsible
Without a clear owner, orphaned accounts, legacy systems, and exceptions remain unaddressed.
Many sources, one model
Entra ID, Active Directory, EDR, MDM, virtualization, cloud, CMDB, and scanners all describe the same asset, often inconsistently. secnostic reconciles them into one node that keeps its source and timestamp.
That node carries the owner, site and zone, software and version, lifecycle, vulnerabilities, and the EDR and MDM coverage. A flat list becomes a model where impact and ownership are clear.
One model, four roles
The same data answers the questions of IT operations, security, compliance, and the service desk.
- Check the estateEndpoints, servers, cloud resources, and observed network assets become visible together.
- Map dependenciesServices, owners, sites, and communication paths share the same asset model.
- Plan changesImpact and ownership are known before a change, not only during an incident.
- Track stateLifecycle, agent coverage, and open tasks stay traceable on the affected asset.
- Check coverageDevices without EDR or MDM management are identified against the inventory.
- Attack surfaceExposed and unpatched assets are tied to usage and criticality.
- PrioritizeVulnerabilities are sorted by impact and owner, not by list.
- Hand overfocusAlert takes critical gaps to the right person, with context.
- InventoryA maintained asset inventory with a named owner meets the frameworks' baseline requirement.
- MapRequirements from ISO 27001, NIS2, and the CIS Controls are anchored to real assets.
- ProveEvidence comes from operations, not from a spreadsheet just before the deadline.
- Keep currentScheduled syncs keep the picture, and with it the evidence, current.
Which product modules are involved
The modules play different roles in the deployment: observation, inventory, platform governance, and handover to the right people.
secnostic sensor
Sensor adds live signals from networks and segments where classic IT tools leave blind spots.
secnostic platform
The platform connects sources, rules, roles, and integrations into a reliable operating model.
focusAlert
FocusAlert prioritizes exceptions, EOL/EOS systems, missing owners, and critical vulnerabilities by impact.
FAQ
Key questions before a first scoping conversation.
Which sources are connected first?
Most projects start with identity, endpoint management, EDR, cloud, virtualization, vulnerability scanners, and ITSM. The first scope follows the most urgent operational question.
How does the data stay trustworthy?
Every fact keeps its source, timestamp, and context. Conflicts are not hidden; they become data quality or ownership work.
