ISO 31000:2018 (RMS)
ISO 31000:2018 - Risk Management System (RMS)
ISO 31000:2018 provides an organized and flexible framework to assist organizations in effectively managing risk. The 2009 edition of the ISO 31000 standard has been replaced by the second edition, which reflects the most recent enterprise-wide risk management best practices.
Because ISO 31000:2018 is flexible and principles-based rather than prescriptive, it can be used by organizations of all sizes in both the public and private sectors. It guarantees that risk is handled uniformly and openly throughout the company by coordinating risk management with strategic planning, operational choices, and governance frameworks.
