CM-8(1) Updates During Installation and Removal
Control enhancement of CM-8 System Component Inventory
Control
Update the inventory of system components as part of component installations, removals, and system updates.
Discussion
Organizations can improve the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of system component inventories if the inventories are updated as part of component installations or removals or during general system updates. If inventories are not updated at these key times, there is a greater likelihood that the information will not be appropriately captured and documented. System updates include hardware, software, and firmware components.
