What is ISO 31000:2018?

ISO 31000:2018 is a globally recognized standard that outlines a comprehensive approach to risk management. Unlike other ISO management system standards, ISO 31000 is not certifiable—it offers best practice guidelines for establishing a risk management process across strategic, operational, financial, and project-related areas. This standard is applicable to all types of organizations, including government, private sector, NGOs, and start-ups.

GMC provides end-to-end ISO 31000 implementation support including:

  1. Risk identification and assessment frameworks
  2. Integration with existing ISO systems (ISO 9001, ISO 27001, etc.)
  3. Risk registers and control matrices
  4. Risk communication and reporting systems
  5. Capacity building and training


Why is ISO 31000:2018 important?

As cyber threats, regulatory pressures, supply chain disruptions, and financial uncertainties grow, businesses need a systematic approach to managing uncertainty. ISO 31000 helps you not only reduce losses but also seize opportunities by anticipating and mitigating risks before they become crises.

Whether you're preparing for digital transformation, mergers, product launches, or ESG compliance, ISO 31000 provides the risk governance framework needed to make sound decisions, enhance stakeholder confidence, and drive long-term value.

What are the benefits of ISO 31000:2018?

  1. Framework Alignment: Ensures alignment of risk strategy with business goals and culture.
  2. Proactive Planning: Encourages predictive decision-making through continuous risk monitoring.
  3. Integrated Governance: Unifies risk policies, roles, and responsibilities across departments.
  4. Adaptability: Can be tailored for SMEs, large enterprises, and multi-national risk environments.
  5. Non-Certifiable Flexibility: Ideal for organizations seeking performance over certification.
