What is ISO 31000?
ISO 31000 is an international risk management standard that provides guidelines for identifying, analyzing, evaluating, and managing risks.

ISO 31000 defines risk as:
“The effect of uncertainty on objectives.”
This definition highlights that risk is not only negative (threats) but can also be positive (opportunities).
