ISO 31000 Consultant Services

What Is ISO 31000?

ISO 31000 provides internationally recognized guidance for risk management.

It establishes:

• Risk management principles

• A structured risk framework

• A risk management process

• Governance integration guidance

• Continuous improvement methodology

Unlike certifiable ISO standards, ISO 31000 is a guidance framework — focused on improving risk-informed decision-making across the organization.

What Does an ISO 31000 Consultant Do?

An ISO 31000 consultant helps organizations:

• Design enterprise risk management frameworks

• Establish risk governance structures

• Develop risk registers and scoring models

• Define risk appetite and tolerance

• Align risk management with strategy

• Integrate risk into management systems

• Improve board and leadership oversight

Risk management must be embedded into decision processes — not isolated in documentation.

Our ISO 31000 Consulting Approach

1. Risk Maturity Assessment

We evaluate your current risk practices, governance structure, and leadership engagement to determine baseline maturity.

2. Risk Framework Design

We establish:

• Risk policy

• Risk management objectives

• Governance roles and responsibilities

• Escalation protocols

• Reporting mechanisms

The framework must align with organizational structure and leadership expectations.

3. Risk Identification & Analysis

We facilitate structured workshops to:

• Identify strategic, operational, financial, regulatory, and reputational risks

• Assess likelihood and impact

• Evaluate existing controls

• Determine residual risk

Risk evaluation must be systematic and documented.

4. Risk Register Development

We design practical risk registers including:

• Risk description

• Root cause

• Impact analysis

• Control effectiveness

• Risk rating methodology

• Assigned ownership

• Review frequency

The register becomes a management tool — not a static spreadsheet.

5. Governance & Leadership Integration

We support:

• Risk reporting dashboards

• Board-level summaries

• Management review integration

• KPI and risk indicator alignment

• Continuous monitoring processes

Effective risk management requires leadership visibility.
