Please list the quantities of tablets and mobile devices within the scope of this assessment.
What this question is really asking
List the quantities and operating system versions for all in-scope laptops, desktops, and virtual desktops. Operating system versions matter — assessors will cross-reference this against your software support answers in section A6. Unsupported OS versions are an automatic fail.
What satisfies this requirement
A list is requiredAll tablets and mobiles accessing organisational data, including BYOD. Include make and OS version.
What to prepare before your assessor visit
Be meticulous with operating system versions — this list is directly cross-referenced against A6.1 (supported OS) and the patching questions. 'Various Windows versions' is insufficient; assessors need the specific versions to check support status. Run a proper software inventory rather than estimating, particularly for older hardware that may still be running outdated OS versions.
