Overview
Business assets are the core entities your organization wants to protect — like customer data, employee information, or intellectual property. Defining these assets early on is critical for accurate risk modeling and cyber risk quantification in Hyver. This task is typically completed during onboarding, with support from your CYE account manager.
How to Define Business Assets
Open the Business Assets page
Click the Settings icon in the top-right corner
Select Business Assets from the menu
If you haven’t defined any yet, the list may be empty
View or manage existing assets
Each asset appears as a row in the list. The toolbar at the top lets you:Add a new business asset
Edit details of an existing asset
Delete an asset (if no longer needed)
Add a new business asset
Click Add
Enter a name and description for the asset (e.g., “Customer PII”, “Financial Records”):
Set importance and impact values to reflect how critical the asset is to your organization
Save your changes
Adjust Cost of Breach settings (Optional)
Click the Settings button at the top of the page to update Cost of Breach management settings. These impact how Hyver calculates the financial exposure associated with each asset.

Wrap-up / Next Steps
Your list of business assets is central to how Hyver models cyber risk. Take time to define them accurately, with input from your CYE advisor if needed. Once complete, these assets will guide exposure calculations, threat modeling, and mitigation efforts.
