Endpoint lifecycle & offboarding
Explain the order in "Endpoint lifecycle & offboarding", then say how you would verify the result.
Step 1 of 3
A device is not done when it's provisioned. You own it from purchase order to secure disposal and the moment that tests whether you truly own it is offboarding - when a leaver's laptop has to be locked, wiped, recovered and accounted for, all tied to the same departure event that kills their access.
Inventory is the spine of this. If you don't know which devices exist, who has them and what state they're in, every other lifecycle step degrades into guesswork. So asset management is a source of truth, not a spreadsheet someone updates when they remember.
