ISO 31000 Risk Management

Implement systematic risk management practices that protect and create value — enabling better decision-making across all levels of your organization.

What is ISO 31000?

ISO 31000 is the international standard for risk management, providing principles, framework, and a process for managing risk. Published by the International Organization for Standardization, it is applicable to any organization regardless of size, type, or activity.

Unlike other ISO management system standards, ISO 31000 provides guidance rather than requirements for certification. However, organizations can demonstrate conformity through gap assessments and verification audits conducted by accredited certification bodies.

ISO 31000 helps organizations increase the likelihood of achieving objectives, improve identification of opportunities and threats, and effectively allocate resources for risk treatment. It is applicable to strategic, operational, project, and enterprise risk management.
