Which domain is associated with managing assets and defining metadata management responsibilities?

• A. APO01 (Managed I&T Management Framework)
• B. APO14 (Managed Data)
• C. BAI09 (Managed Assets)
• D. DSS05 (Managed Security Services)

Answer: (C)

Asset management focuses on how assets are tracked and governed, including who is responsible for their metadata. This domain covers the asset lifecycle—ownership, custodianship, and stewardship—and establishes metadata standards, definitions, lineage, and data dictionary responsibilities. That combination ensures assets are properly described, discoverable, and governed, which is exactly what’s needed when the question points to managing assets and defining metadata management responsibilities. Other domains concentrate on IT management processes, broad data governance, or security services, but they don’t center on both asset stewardship and metadata governance in the same way.
