FAQ

Can we be ISO 31000 certified?+

ISO 31000 is guidance. Bodies may offer gap assessments, but it is not a classic certifiable MS standard.

How does it relate to COSO ERM?+

Both are ERM frameworks. Teams often use one vocabulary and map to the other.

Does it replace ISO 27001 risk?+

No. 27001 has specific ISMS risk requirements. 31000 is the broader enterprise lens.

How often to refresh the register?+

On a defined cycle and after material change or incident.
