Asset inventory sync
The shortest fixed clock in the held texts is 8,760 hours (yearly), set by PCI DSS 12.5.2. Paste one job that feeds this consumer, for example cmdb_asset_sync, weekly, and the register reads its period against the clocks below, names the gap in hours, and carries the question for its owner.
Matched on the job name or the consumer column by these words: inventory, cmdb, asset sync, asset discovery, asset export, CMDB sync.

Questions this page answers
How often does PCI DSS v4.0 require asset inventory sync?
Yearly (8,760 hours): PCI DSS 12.5.2, PCI DSS scope documented and confirmed annually. PCI DSS scope is documented and confirmed at least once every 12 months by identifying all data flows, system components, and segmentation controls in use.
How often does ISO/IEC 27001:2022 require asset inventory sync?
The held text of ISO 27001 8.9 (Configuration management) sets no fixed period: no period set by the text. Establish, document, implement, monitor and review secure configurations for hardware, software, services and networks.
How often does NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 require asset inventory sync?
The held text of SP 800-53 CA-7 (Continuous monitoring) sets no fixed period: a defined frequency. Requires a system-level continuous monitoring strategy aligned to the organizational one, defining the metrics monitored, the frequencies for monitoring and for assessing control effectiveness, ongoing control assessment, correlation and analysis of the results, response actions, and reporting of security and privacy posture to defined personnel.

The clauses in full
PCI DSS scope is documented and confirmed at least once every 12 months by identifying all data flows, system components, and segmentation controls in use.
What an assessor asks to see: Scope document with named components; Data flow diagrams covering all CHD flows; Network and segmentation diagrams; Annual scoping exercise minutes and sign-off. Where it usually falls short: Diagrams stale
Establish, document, implement, monitor and review secure configurations for hardware, software, services and networks.
Guidance beside it, ISO 27002 8.9: Requires configurations of hardware, software, services and networks, including their security configurations, to be established, documented, implemented, monitored and reviewed. Supporting material frames this as a standing process that keeps systems configured securely and consistently.
What an assessor asks to see: baseline_configurations; change_control_records; configuration_audit_reports; secure_hardening_guidelines. Where it usually falls short: outdated baselines
Requires a system-level continuous monitoring strategy aligned to the organizational one, defining the metrics monitored, the frequencies for monitoring and for assessing control effectiveness, ongoing control assessment, correlation and analysis of the results, response actions, and reporting of security and privacy posture to defined personnel.
What an assessor asks to see: Documented continuous monitoring strategy with metrics and frequencies; Evidence of ongoing control assessments performed at the stated cadence; Correlation and analysis output showing findings drawn from monitoring data; Posture reports issued to the defined personnel and the actions they triggered. Where it usually falls short: Monitoring reduced to vulnerability scanning, with most controls never reassessed
