Helixiora should keep enough asset and data visibility to know what needs protection and who is accountable for it.

Asset inventory

Maintain an inventory for important assets such as:

  • production services and supporting infrastructure
  • endpoints and administrative devices
  • source-code repositories and CI/CD systems
  • critical third-party platforms
  • security tooling and shared credentials where they still exist

For each asset, record an owner, purpose, criticality, and review mechanism.

Data classification

Define a small number of classification levels that people can apply consistently. A common starting point is:

  • public
  • internal
  • confidential
  • restricted

State how customer data, credentials, and security-sensitive records should be classified by default.

Handling rules

Document the baseline expectations for:

  • storage locations and approved systems
  • encryption in transit and at rest where appropriate
  • sharing with suppliers or external parties
  • retention and secure disposal

Link to more detailed standards if Helixiora creates them later.
