An information asset register is a tool for organizations to identify and manage personal data to comply with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It involves recording information about data sources, locations, sharing status, and retention policies for each asset in a dedicated database rather than spreadsheets. This allows fields to be configured related to privacy, security, and retention workflows. Software for an information asset register starts at £150 per month.

Within the Informu IAR system you record Master Assets to provide
the header records for an information collection relating to a specific
process or business matter. One or more constituent format-specific
Sub Assets are then tagged to the master, e.g. for physical records,
digital content, data sets, equipment. Fields are configured – including
those related to privacy, data protection and information security -
based upon the various use cases for the IAR. The system also allows
retention policies to be assigned to assets, inherited via a business
classification scheme, with disposal review workflows triggered based
upon asset closure dates.
