Artikel 5 Förfarande för hantering av IKT-tillgångar


Summary What does Article 5 of the RTS on ICT risk management framework say?

Article 5 sits closely alongside Article 4, which establishes the policy on ICT asset management.

Where Article 4 sets out the policy framework and record-keeping requirements, Article 5 focuses on the operational procedure that financial entities must put in place to actually manage those assets.

The core of the article is a requirement to define the criteria for assessing how critical information assets and ICT assets are, anchored in two considerations: the ICT risk associated with the business functions that depend on those assets, and the potential business impact if the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of those assets were to be lost.

Important points:

  • Develop, document, and implement a procedure for the management of ICT assets.
  • The procedure must set out the criteria for conducting a criticality assessment of both information assets and ICT assets that support business functions.
  • That criticality assessment must account for both the ICT risk tied to dependent business functions and the potential business impact of losing confidentiality, integrity, or availability of those assets.
