Managing risk effectively is essential to ensure businesses succeed and thrive in an environment of constant uncertainty. ISO 31000 aims to simplify risk management into a set of clearly understandable and actionable guidelines, that should be straightforward to implement, regardless of the size, nature, or location of a business.
ISO 31000 is an international standard issued in 2009 by ISO (International Organization for Standardization). All types and sizes of organisations face internal and external factors that directly impact whether an organisation can achieve their objectives or not. ISO 31000:2018 serves as a guide for the design, implementation and maintenance of risk management, ISO 31000:2018 describes a systematic and logical process, during which organisations manage risk by identifying it, analysing it, and then make a determination as to mitigating the risk treatment in a way that is consistent with their risk appetite. An organisation can implement risk management across the entire company, and it can do so at any time. It can also tailor these controls to specific areas and activities in the business.
