For this assignment, we are tasked with conducting an asset identification and analysis on Harry and Mae’s Inc.’s assets; this is a vital first step in the risk assessment process. By carefully extracting each identifiable piece of hardware, software, or other property, I created a chart that lists the asset’s name, description, quantity, cost (both per unit and total), and finally, the cost of all the assets combined. Armed with the data shown below, one can quickly ascertain which assets are more valuable, thus requiring enhanced risk assessments and mitigation procedures. It is important to note that some of the asset costs shown below are estimations due to the limited information we have available to us.
