Inputs

  1. Detailed endpoint inventory

Operations

  1. For each endpoint, identify detailed information, such as:
    • Network Address

    • Hardware Address (applies to virtual endpoints)

    • Machine name

    • Data asset owner

    • Assigned department

  2. Identify endpoints with all detailed information identified

  3. For each endpoint, identify network connection approval

Measures

  • M1 = List of endpoints in inventory

  • M2 = Count of M1

  • M3 = List of endpoints with network connection approval

  • M4 = Count of M3

  • M5 = List of endpoints with all detailed information

  • M6 = Count of M5

Metrics

Endpoint Inventory Quality

Metric

The ratio of endpoints with all detailed information to the total number of inventoried
endpoints

Calculation

M6 / M2

Endpoint Inventory Authorization Quality

Metric

The ratio of endpoints with approval to connect to the network

Calculation

M4 / M2
