Risk Management (ISO 31000:2018)

ISO 31000:2018 provides internationally accepted principles and guidelines for effective risk management. It helps organizations of all types and sizes identify, assess, and respond to risks that may affect the achievement of their objectives—whether those risks are operational, strategic, financial, cyber, or reputational.

Unlike prescriptive frameworks, ISO 31000 offers a flexible, integrated approach that can be tailored to any organization. It promotes a proactive, risk-aware culture and supports decision-making under uncertainty. ISO 31000 also aligns well with other management system standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 22301.

By embedding risk management into governance, planning, and operations, organizations can improve resilience, seize opportunities, and protect value.
