Completion of the Z08.02 Template

Z 08.02 identifies operational assets that underpin services supporting critical functions or core business lines, including where the related service is provided externally. However, an asset owned and operated solely by a third-party service provider is outside the scope of Z 08.02 where no intra-group or intra-entity service provider requires access to it. Where an external provider supports an IT system or application that is owned, leased or licensed by a group entity and that asset supports the relevant service, the asset should be reported and columns 0030, 0040, 0050 and 0080 should be completed as applicable. Conversely, where an external service, such as physical cash transportation, does not depend on an operational asset of a group entity, no asset should be reported in Z 08.02 merely because the third party uses its own assets to provide the service. The relevant columns should therefore not be left blank for an asset that is otherwise reported; rather, no Z 08.02 asset record is required in that case.
