Furthermore, the organization's risk culture will also either support or undermine the organization's success in the long term, or to translate it into the terminology of ISO , it will determine whether the organization will create and protect value or not. Secondly, organizations may spend considerable amount of time and resources in the development of rules, frameworks and processes, only to realize that those are misunderstood and not applied properly, either intentionally or due to the lack of the necessary knowledge and expertise.
Integrating risk management can sometimes be difficult as it relies on the understanding of organizational structure and context. Having in mind that ISO does not provide requirements but only recommendations, organizations are allowed to choose what part of the recommendations they want to follow in order to manage risk properly.
However, to properly identify, analyze, evaluate and treat the risks, PECB recommends to follow all recommendations of ISO and also provides training courses to enable risk managers to advance their skills and support organizations that they work for to align ISO standard objectives with organizations objectives.
Prior to selecting a risk management framework as the most suitable for the organization, the top management should identify the risk types that the organization faces, or may potentially face in the future. Depending on the nature and type of the organization, the industry and country in which it operates in, its day-to-day operations and activities, the risk management framework and processes can vary from one company to another.
The ISO , however, is suitable for each organization as it provides a universal framework and process to manage risk properly. An organization aiming to implement a risk management process should be aware of all the risk types that have been or can be faced by the organization while they operate.
This can be achieved by considering all of the past risk registers and identifying whether any risk from the past has been intertied or is still present. In case the organization does not have risk registers at all, the top management should provide the risk management team with enough information on what risks have been faced in the past and what were their sources.
In case the organization has not faced any risk in the past, they still should identify potential risks so the organization does not have to suffer any consequences. Some risk types presented by PECB that can be faced by organizations of any type include:. Operational risk — the loss resulting from inadequate procedures, policies, and systems within the organization. Financial risk — the process of coping with uncertainties that derive from financial markets.
Security risk - the losses encountered due to the information security incidents or physical incidents. Legal risk — the risk that emerges because of the inability to comply with the applicable regulatory obligations. The ISO underlines the development of a framework that will fully integrate the risk management process into an organization. The framework assures that an organization-wide process is supported, iterative and effective. That means that risk management will be an active component in governance, strategy and planning, management reporting processes, policies, values and culture.
However, the commitment of the top management alone is not enough; therefore, the commitment of the whole organization needs to be pursued a proper risk culture as discussed above. Successful implementation of the ISO risk management framework requires the engagement and awareness of stakeholders.
This allows organizations to explicitly address uncertainty in decision-making, while also ensuring that any new or subsequent uncertainty can be taken into account as it arises.
The framework includes activities such as: demonstrating leadership and commitment to risk management, integrating risk management into organizational processes, designing the framework for managing risk which includes understanding the organization and its context, articulating risk management commitment, assigning roles, authorities, responsibilities and accountabilities, allocating appropriate resources and establishing communication and consultation , implementing the risk management process, evaluating the risk management process and adapting and continually improving the framework.
The main purpose of the risk management process is to enable the organization to assess the existing or potential risks that may be faced, evaluate the risks by comparing the risk analysis results with the established risk criteria, and treat such risks using the risk treatment options.

The new ISO keeps risk management simple Damage to reputation or brand, cyber crime, political risk and terrorism are some of the risks that private and public organizations of all types and sizes around the world must face with increasing frequency. An event can have multiple causes and consequences and can affect multiple objectives. Risk analysis can be undertaken with varying degrees of detail and complexity, depending on the purpose of the analysis, the availability and reliability of information, and the resources available.
Analysis techniques can be qualitative, quantitative or a combination of these, depending on the circumstances and intended use. The risk analysis may be influenced by any divergence of opinions, biases, perceptions of risk and judgements.
Additional influences are the quality of the information used, the assumptions and exclusions made, any limitations of the techniques and how they are executed. These influences should be considered, documented and communicated to decision makers. Highly uncertain events can be difficult to quantify.
This can be an issue when analysing events with severe consequences. In such cases, using a combination of techniques generally provides greater insight. Risk analysis provides an input to risk evaluation, to decisions on whether risk needs to be treated and how, and on the most appropriate risk treatment strategy and methods. The results provide insight for decisions, where choices are being made, and the options involve different types and levels of risk.
The purpose of risk evaluation is to support decisions. Risk evaluation involves comparing the results of the risk analysis with the established risk criteria to determine where additional action is required. This can lead to a decision to:. Decisions should take account of the wider context and the actual and perceived consequences to external and internal stakeholders. The outcome of risk evaluation should be recorded, communicated and then validated at appropriate levels of the organization.
Selecting the most appropriate risk treatment option s involves balancing the potential benefits derived in relation to the achievement of the objectives against costs, effort or disadvantages of implementation. Risk treatment options are not necessarily mutually exclusive or appropriate in all circumstances. Options for treating risk may involve one or more of the following:. When selecting risk treatment options, the organization should consider the values, perceptions and potential involvement of stakeholders and the most appropriate ways to communicate and consult with them.
Though equally effective, some risk treatments can be more acceptable to some stakeholders than to others. Risk treatments, even if carefully designed and implemented might not produce the expected outcomes and could produce unintended consequences. Monitoring and review need to be an integral part of the risk treatment implementation to give assurance that the different forms of treatment become and remain effective.
If there are no treatment options available or if treatment options do not sufficiently modify the risk, the risk should be recorded and kept under ongoing review. Decision makers and other stakeholders should be aware of the nature and extent of the remaining risk after risk treatment. The remaining risk should be documented and subjected to monitoring, review and, where appropriate, further treatment.
The purpose of risk treatment plans is to specify how the chosen treatment options will be implemented, so that arrangements are understood by those involved, and progress against the plan can be monitored. The treatment plan should clearly identify the order in which risk treatment should be implemented.
Treatment plans should be integrated into the management plans and processes of the organization, in consultation with appropriate stakeholders. The purpose of monitoring and review is to assure and improve the quality and effectiveness of process design, implementation and outcomes. Monitoring and review should take place in all stages of the process. Monitoring and review includes planning, gathering and analysing information, recording results and providing feedback.
The risk management process and its outcomes should be documented and reported through appropriate mechanisms. Recording and reporting aims to:. Decisions concerning the creation, retention and handling of documented information should take into account, but not be limited to: their use, information sensitivity and the external and internal context. Factors to consider for reporting include, but are not limited to:. Open navigation menu. Close suggestions Search Search.
