It provides a general approach to risk management, which is applicable to different types of risks (financial and safety, as well as project risks) and can be used by any kind of business. The standard provides a common terminology and terms used to discuss risk management. It provides guidelines and principles that can help to undertake a critical review of your organization's risk-management procedure. The document does not offer detailed instructions or requirements regarding how to handle particular risks, nor do they provide advice related to a specific area of application; it is an overall concept.

ISO 31000 gives a new definition to risk. It outlines the impact of uncertainty on the probability that an organization will achieve its objectives. This highlights the importance and significance of uncertainty when setting goals prior to addressing risks.
ISO 31000 defines risk appetite. It is the notion that the business accepts risk in exchange for the anticipated return.
ISO 31000 is an international standard for risk management. It defines various operational processes, roles, and responsibility.
ISO 31000 defines a management method that makes risk management an integral part in strategic decision-making and the management of change. See Risk management - Guidelines for info.

The ISO 31000 standard
The risk management method described in the ISO 31000 standard includes the following steps:
Risk identification: identifying what could prevent us from achieving our goals.
Risk analysis involves the study of risks and possible causes; the examination of probability and consequences of the current control system to discover the risk that is not eliminated.
Risk evaluation: comparing risk analysis results with risk-related criteria to determine if the residual risk is tolerable.
Risk management: This is the process of altering the probability of positive or negative consequences in order to increase the net profit. See ISO 19011 for more.

The context is established The context for this activity, which was not mentioned in the previous descriptions of risk management processes includes the definition of the scope of the process, the organization's goals and the establishment of risk evaluation criteria. The context includes both external elements (regulatory environments and market conditions, stakeholder expectation) and the internal aspects (organization's governance and the culture, standards, rules capacities information systems, expectations, etc. It's.

Monitoring and reviewing involves measuring the performance of risk management against various indicators. These indicators are examined periodically for accuracy. This involves checking the risk management strategy for deviations and checking whether the framework, policy and plan is still appropriate considering the external and inner context.

Communication and consultation. This task allows stakeholders to know their interests and concerns. It also checks that the process of managing risk is centered on the appropriate aspects.
