SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CORPORATE-WIDE POLICY MANAGEMENT

摘要

An organization asset database (ADb) is described that contains a complete, up-to-date, secure, and easily accessible inventory of the organization's assets (210). Each asset is mapped onto a structure that represents the organizational hierarchy of the organization (220), which provides for multiple levels of accountability for each asset. Each asset has one or more roles (215) in relation to other assets in the ADb and has one or more entitlements in relation to other assets in the ADb. The relationship (215) between assets ensures that ADb is complete and up-to-date and allows for easy filtering and retrieval of the information contained in the ADb.
