Risk Governance Framework & Process Statement of Alignment

About the standard

What is ISO 31000:2018?

ISO 31000:2018 provides principles, a framework, and a process for managing risk across organizations of any size, sector, or activity.

It supports integrating risk management into governance, strategy, planning, reporting, policies, values, culture, and operational decision-making.

Who it’s for

Organizations making consequential decisions under uncertainty.

  • Financial services, healthcare, energy, and regulated industries
  • Public agencies, infrastructure operators, and government contractors
  • Engineering, construction, project, and asset-management organizations
  • Boards and leadership teams strengthening enterprise risk governance
  • Organizations integrating operational, strategic, compliance, and project risk

Assessment focus

Principles, leadership, integration, and continual improvement.

  • Leadership commitment, accountability, and risk governance
  • Integration into strategy, objectives, operations, and decision-making
  • Risk context, criteria, identification, analysis, evaluation, and treatment
  • Communication, consultation, monitoring, review, and reporting
  • Framework evaluation, adaptation, and continual improvement

Important classification

ISO 31000 cannot be used for certification.

ISO explicitly identifies ISO 31000 as a non-certifiable guideline standard. AmericanQMS therefore performs an independent alignment assessment and issues a Statement of Alignment describing the assessed scope and evidence reviewed, not an ISO 31000 Certificate of Registration.
