Answer Key

Asset

Section A: Quick Questions

A — A school's student records database

B — A school laptop

B — Photos stored in a cloud account

A — True, because it has value to its owner and needs protecting

A — The database holding all student grades

Section B: Match the Pairs

asset = "student database" → A data asset: information of value that needs protecting

asset = "school laptop" → A hardware asset: a physical device of value that needs protecting

Ranking assets by importance: the most important asset gets the top rank → rank1 = "student records"

An asset can be an account or a service, not just data or devices → assets = ["email account", "website"]

assets = ["laptop"] # only devices count → Assets are not only hardware. Data, accounts and services are assets too.

rank5 = "exam results" # least important → Exam results are very valuable, so they should be ranked high, not as the least important asset.

Section C: Definitions

asset — Anything of value in a digital system that needs protecting, such as data, accounts, devices or services. Examples: a student database (data) or a school laptop (hardware).

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

asset ← "student database"
asset_type ← "data"

IF asset_type = "hardware" THEN
  PRINT "Lock the device away"
END IF

SORT assets BY importance DESCENDING
PRINT assets

FOR EACH asset IN assets DO
  PRINT asset
END FOR

IF importance > 3 THEN
  PRINT "High priority asset"
END IF

Section E: Spot the Error

C — A Python list has no add() method. Use assets.append("school laptop") to add the laptop asset to the list.

B — A student database is a data asset, not a hardware asset. The type should be "data".

A — The list is missing its closing square bracket ]. Every opening [ needs a matching ].

D — The else keyword must end with a colon. It should be else: so the indented line below belongs to it.

C — The total number of assets is the data assets plus the hardware assets. It should use + instead of -.
