How EOSL.ai supports asset-lifecycle & unsupported-component controls
EOSL.ai is a source-linked hardware end-of-service-life (EOSL) database built to support asset inventory, lifecycle review, and unsupported-component decisions. This page maps what it provides to the controls that security and audit frameworks describe — with a citable vendor source behind every date.
Control mapping matrix
| Framework | How EOSL.ai supports the workflow | Evidence you can produce |
|---|---|---|
| CISA BOD 26-02 (Feb 2026)Mitigating Risk From End-of-Support Edge Devices | Identify EOS edge devices (firewalls, routers, switches, wireless APs, security appliances) by exact part number against vendor-published support dates — the same facts CISA's non-public EOS Edge Device List is built from. Full guide: eosl.ai/bod-26-02/. | A dated, source-linked inventory of edge devices that are EOS or reach EOS within 12 months — the directive's recurring inventory unit. |
| CIS Controls v8Control 1 — Inventory & Control of Enterprise Assets | Look up any enterprise asset by part number and record its vendor support status; bulk-check a whole inventory in one pass. | A dated asset-lifecycle list showing each part's support status and its source bulletin. |
| NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5SA-22 — Unsupported System Components | Identify which components are past vendor end-of-service-life, with the vendor bulletin as the authority for each date. | An unsupported-component review with EOSL date, source URL and last-verified date per part. |
| NIST CSF 2.0ID.AM / PR.PS — asset & platform lifecycle management | Track where each asset sits on its lifecycle clock and its Action Priority — Immediate, Soon, Plan or Monitor. | A lifecycle-status export ranking assets by end-of-service exposure. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022A.5.9 / A.8.9 — inventory & configuration of assets | Maintain a source-linked record of hardware support status to inform asset and configuration reviews. | Asset-review notes citing the vendor end-of-life bulletin behind each date. |
| SOC 2Availability / change-management support | Surface end-of-life exposure that feeds availability and change planning; saved local inventory, evidence fields and exports are in Stack Monitor. | Records showing when a part's support status was last verified, and its source. |
What each framework cares about
Know and control the hardware you run. EOSL.ai supplies the vendor support status and lifecycle dates for each tracked part, source-linked — the lifecycle layer of an asset inventory.
Find and manage components the vendor no longer supports. EOSL.ai flags hardware past end-of-service-life with the vendor bulletin cited, so an unsupported-component review is documented, not guessed.
Manage assets across their lifecycle. EOSL.ai grades each family by Action Priority — Immediate, Soon, Plan or Monitor — so exposure is ranked, not just listed.
Maintain and review an asset inventory. EOSL.ai is a source-linked record of hardware support status you can cite in asset and configuration reviews.
End-of-life hardware is an availability and change-planning concern. EOSL.ai surfaces it with a verifiable date and source; Stack Monitor adds saved local inventory, evidence fields and exports.
It does not certify, attest, or assess your environment, and it is not a GRC platform. It provides the source-linked lifecycle facts those processes reference.
Standards & compliance questions
Is EOSL.ai certified, compliant with, or endorsed by these frameworks?
No. EOSL.ai is not certified by, endorsed by, or formally compliant with CIS, NIST, ISO or AICPA, and it does not certify your environment. It is a source-linked reference that maps hardware end-of-service-life facts to the asset-inventory and unsupported-component controls these frameworks describe, so you can document lifecycle decisions with a citable source.
How does EOSL.ai support CIS Control 1?
CIS Control 1 is about knowing and controlling the enterprise assets you run. EOSL.ai lets you look up any tracked part number — or bulk-check a whole inventory — and see each asset's vendor support status with a link to the source bulletin, which supports the inventory and lifecycle side of that control.
What is NIST SP 800-53 SA-22 and how does EOSL.ai help?
SA-22 (Unsupported System Components) asks organizations to identify and manage components that are no longer supported by the vendor. EOSL.ai identifies hardware that is past its vendor end-of-service-life date, with the vendor's own end-of-life bulletin cited for each date, so you can document an unsupported-component review.
Can I use EOSL.ai as audit evidence?
EOSL.ai gives you the underlying facts — the end-of-sale and end-of-service-life dates, the source bulletin URL, and the last-verified date for each part — which you can attach to an asset review. It does not replace an auditor's judgment or a formal control assessment; it provides the source-linked evidence those assessments reference.
Does EOSL.ai replace a compliance or GRC tool?
No. EOSL.ai is a hardware lifecycle data source, not a GRC platform. It answers one question with a citation — is this hardware still supported by the vendor — which feeds the asset-inventory and unsupported-component parts of the frameworks above. Stack Monitor adds saved local inventory, evidence fields and exports, in your browser (no cross-device sync or email alerts).
