# ID.AM-07 ID.AM-07

> **Subcategory of:** Asset Management (ID.AM)

## High-Level Description

**Function:** IDENTIFY (ID)
**Framework:** NIST Cybersecurity Framework v2.0

Inventories of data and corresponding metadata for designated data types are maintained

## What to Check

- [ ] Verify ID.AM-07 ID.AM-07 outcome is achieved
- [ ] Review documentation and evidence for ID.AM-07
- [ ] Assess organizational maturity for IDENTIFY function
- [ ] Map to SP 800-53 controls that satisfy ID.AM-07

## How to Test

### Step 1: Identify Current Profile

Determine the organization's current and target CSF profile tier for ID.AM-07.

### Step 2: Assess Outcome Achievement

```
# Review organizational policies and procedures
# Check for evidence that ID.AM-07 outcome is met
# Interview stakeholders responsible for IDENTIFY
```

### Step 3: Map to Technical Controls

Identify which SP 800-53 controls implement this CSF outcome and verify their operating effectiveness.
