Does your organization maintain a documented inventory of designated data types of interest that require protection?

This question assesses whether your organization has formally identified and cataloged sensitive data categories that require special handling and protection. Examples include personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), financial account data, intellectual property, and operational technology data. An acceptable evidence would be a data classification document or inventory that lists all data types of interest, their sensitivity levels, and protection requirements. This document should be regularly reviewed and updated as new data types are introduced or regulatory requirements change.
