Organization and department hierarchy is the management layers within the departments or the organization as a whole. How the device is used, what applications and how they are used most likely differ between each department, but also within the structure of the department. To determine the correct passwordless strategy, you need to know these differences across your organization. An executive leader is likely to use their device differently than a member of middle management in the sales department. Both of those user cases are probably different to how an individual contributor in the customer service department uses their device.

#### Number and type of applications and services #### Number and type of applications and services
The number of applications within an organization is simply astonishing and rarely is there one centralized list that is accurate. Applications and services are the most critical item in your password-less assessment. Applications and services take considerable effort to move to a different type of authentication. That is not to say changing policies and procedures is not a daunting task, but there is something to be said of updating a company's set of standard operating procedure and security policies compared to changing 100 lines (or more) of authentication code in the critical path of your internally developed CRM application.

Capturing the number of applications used is easier once you have the departments, their hierarchy, and their stakeholders. In this approach, you should have an organized list of departments and the hierarchy in each. You can now associate the applications that are used by all levels within each department. You'll also want to document whether the application is internally developed or commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS). If the later, document the manufacturer and the version. Also, do not forget web-based applications or services when inventorying applications.
