So I have a question:
When you say software register, as an MSSP we resell software to clients do we need to keep this as part of our software register? i.e. licenses for clients? software for clients?

@jack_b_za6415 You can jump on a free weekly clinic or grab a 1 to 1 as hard to answer in small comments but I would expect that you have a register of all your clients, what software they have purchased, the licenses that go with that. THEY will have a requirement under the intellectual property control to evidence licensing and software and if they rely on you they will expect that you can evidence it. Which alludes to what this control is about. Do you know, in total, what you have in place for your ISO 27001 scope ( I narrow it here but really you would want to know EVERYTHING you have ). The control wants what YOU have but it clearly makes sense, based on what you tell me and the requirements your clients have that you have this for clients and what you sell also. Hope makes sense - jump on a clinic or call to chat through if you need more.
