Although most organizations
manage risk to some extent,
they often don't have
a good system to manage it *well.*Learn how to leverage ISO 31000 Enterprise Risk Management
to ensure barriers to success are better identified, reduced, and potentially eliminated.

### Get trained and certified in ISO 31000 and ISO 27005 Enterprise Risk Management

A successful risk management initiative can affect the likelihood and consequences of risks materializing, as well as deliver benefits related to better informed strategic decisions, successful delivery of change and increased operational efficiency. Other benefits include reduced cost of capital, more accurate financial reporting, competitive advantage, improved perception of the organization, better marketplace presence and, in the case of public service organizations, enhanced political and community support. And since information security, business continuity/disaster recovery, environmental health and safety, and other critical management systems have the primary purpose of identifying and treating risk, it is essential that your organization establish a common platform and approach for managing risk.

- Establish a firm program starting point by using ISO standards 31000, 31010, 23894, and 27005 to build out the initial ERM core policy. **Soft-copy editable templates are provided in the instructor-led class**:

### Frequently Asked Questions: Enterprise Risk Management and ISO 31000

### 1. What is Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)? What is the difference between ISO 31000 and ERM?

ERM is a holistic, top-down business process designed to identify, assess, manage, and monitor all potential risks and opportunities that can affect an organization's strategic objectives. It is led by senior leadership and provides a continuous and integrated approach to risk.

ISO 31000 provides the "how-to" guide or the overarching set of principles and guidelines for an ERM program. ERM is the actual practice of managing risks at the enterprise level. In this way, ISO 31000 is a standard, while ERM is a strategic discipline.

### 2. How can I use ERM to help an organization?

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a strategic, organization-wide approach that helps an organization not only manage risks but also identify opportunities to drive growth, enhance decision-making, and increase resilience. ERM moves beyond traditional risk management by integrating risk assessment into all levels and functions of a business, rather than addressing risks in isolated departments.

ERM helps organizations to:

- Improve decision-making by aligning risk with strategy
- Enhance resilience and the ability to achieve objectives
- Optimize resource allocation by prioritizing the most significant risks
- Strengthen governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) efforts
- Establish a consistent enterpise-wide approach to assessing, treating, and managing risks of any kind

### 3. How does an organization get started using ISO 31000 for establishing and managing ERM?

### Phase 1: Establish commitment and a customized framework

1. **Gain commitment from leadership.** Top management must endorse and actively support the adoption of ISO 31000. This involves communicating the value of a strong risk management process to secure necessary resources and influence the organizational culture.
2. **Understand the ISO 31000 standard.** The core of the standard consists of three components:
    - *Principles:* The standard's foundation, which includes risk management creating and protecting value, being an integral part of decision-making, and being tailored to the organization.
    - *Framework:* The organizational structure, policies, and resources for implementing risk management.
    - *Process:* The systematic steps for managing risk, which will be applied day-to-day.
3. **Assess current risk practices.** Evaluate your existing risk management processes and identify gaps and areas where improvements are needed to align with ISO 31000's principles.
4. **Tailor the framework.** Customize the ISO 31000 framework to fit your organization's unique context, including its objectives, culture, and operational realities.
5. **Develop a risk management policy.** Create a formal policy that outlines the organization's approach to risk management and integrate it into the governance structure. Ensure the policy is communicated across the entire organization.

### Phase 2: Execute the risk management process

1. **Define scope, context, and criteria.** Establish the parameters for risk management activities, including what risks are covered, internal and external factors that are relevant, and the standards used for evaluation and decision-making.
2. **Conduct risk assessments.** Systematically identify potential threats and opportunities, analyze their likelihood and impact, document them, and prioritize risks requiring attention.
3. **Treat risks.** Develop and implement plans to modify risks, considering options such as avoidance, acceptance, reduction, or transfer.
4. **Communicate and consult.** Continuously engage with stakeholders to ensure understanding and incorporate diverse perspectives throughout the process.

### Phase 3: Monitor, review, and embed a risk-aware culture

1. **Monitor and review continuously.** Regularly track risks and the effectiveness of treatments to maintain relevance as the environment changes.
2. **Record and report.** Document activities and provide reports to management to ensure accountability.
3. **Foster a risk-aware culture.** Promote awareness through training and empower employees to identify risks, making risk management a daily practice.
4. **Audit and improve.** Periodically audit the framework and process to ensure alignment with goals and promote continuous improvement.

### 4. Can I get certified as a subject-matter expert in ISO 31000 Enterprise risk management and conducting risk assessments?

**Yes!** Certified Information Security is the only IRMCB-accredited and authorized training provider and certification exam proctor for the ISO 31000 Certified Internal Controls Risk Analyst professional credential.
