About the standard
ISO 31000:2018
Risk Management
Sets out principles and a general process for identifying, weighing, treating and following up on the risks an organization faces, whatever its size or sector. It is written as guidance rather than a set of certifiable requirements, giving leaders and risk practitioners a shared vocabulary and structure they can adapt to their own context. The 2018 edition frames risk management primarily as a way of creating and protecting value rather than a purely defensive exercise.
Key objectives
- Give organizations a shared framework and vocabulary for managing risk
- Embed risk thinking into governance, strategy, planning and everyday decisions
- Improve early identification of both threats and opportunities
- Support more efficient allocation of resources toward risk treatment

Leaders, risk owners, and professionals responsible for managing risk.
