ISO 31000-2009 provides principles and general guidelines for managing all types of risks an organization may encounter. It aims to help organizations increase the likelihood of achieving objectives, improve governance and transparency, and enhance health and safety. The guidelines can be applied to strategies, decisions, operations, and processes across an entire organization. ISO 31000-2009 is not intended to be prescriptive or used for certification purposes but rather provides a framework to design an effective risk management program.
