ISA/IECISA/IEC 62443IEC 62443: Risk Assessment & Asset Owner RequirementsEASYFree question
Why should an asset owner maintain an accurate asset inventory as part of its IEC 62443-2-1 program before risk assessment?
- A.To satisfy marketing requirements
- B.Because inventories replace the need for zones and conduits
- C.Because unknown or undocumented assets cannot be properly scoped, zoned, or assessed, leaving blind spots in the risk picture
- D.Because the supplier owns the inventory
Why C is correct
An accurate inventory is foundational because assets that are unknown cannot be scoped into the SUC, assigned to zones, or assessed, creating blind spots that undermine the entire risk evaluation. The asset owner maintains this inventory under its security program.
