Written by ISO 31000 – as a family of risk management standards – is not developed for a particular industry group, management system or subject matter field in mind, rather to provide best practice structure and guidance to all operations concerned with risk management.
It provides generic guidelines for the design, implementation and maintenance of risk management processes throughout an organisation. This approach to formalizing risk management practices help facilitates broader adoption by companies who require an enterprise risk management standard that accommodates multiple ‘silo-centric’ management systems.
The standard also provides guidelines and principles that assist in undertaking a critical review of your organisation’s risk management processes and framework.
