Hide Control Practices  help

  1. Define and implement a policy requiring all configuration items and their attributes and versions to be identified and maintained.

  3. Define a policy that integrates incident, change and problem management procedures with the maintenance of the configuration repository.
  4. Define a process to record new, modified and deleted configuration items and their relative attributes and versions. Identify and maintain the relationships between configuration items in the configuration repository.
  5. Establish a process to maintain an audit trail for all changes to configuration items.
  6. Define a process to identify critical configuration items in relationship to business functions (component failure impact analysis).
  7. Record all assets—including new hardware and software, procured or internally developed—within the configuration management data repository.
