Information asset classification is the process of identifying, labeling, and categorizing information assets based on their value, sensitivity, and criticality to the organization. Information asset classification helps to establish appropriate security controls, policies, and procedures for protecting the information assets from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction. One of the key elements of information asset classification is assigning owners to each information asset. Owners are responsible for managing the information asset throughout its lifecycle, including defining its security requirements, implementing security controls, monitoring its usage and performance, reporting any incidents or breaches, and ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory obligations. Therefore, assigning responsibility to the database administrator (DBA) is the best way to address the situation where several production databases do not have owners assigned to them.
