Explanation
The asset owner is responsible for initial asset allocation to the user or custodian of the assets. The asset owner is a person or entity that has been assigned the responsibility for managing and protecting the asset throughout its lifecycle. The asset owner should ensure that the user or custodian of the assets has the appropriate authorization, competence and awareness to use or handle the assets securely. The asset owner should also monitor and review the use or custody of the assets and update or revoke the allocation as needed. ISO/IEC
27001:2022 requires the organization to assign owners to all assets within the scope of the information security management system (see clause A.8.1.2).
