ISO 31000 training: compare risk management levels

ISO 31000 provides guidance for managing risks that affect objectives. Compare Foundation, Risk Manager and Lead Risk Manager according to whether you need to understand the approach, apply the risk process, or lead its integration into organizational decisions.

ISO 31000 is guidance rather than a certifiable management-system requirements standard. PECB’s personal training and certification options should not be confused with certifying an organization to ISO 31000. This subject also covers more than information-security risk alone.

How a team might choose

Illustrative example: a business wants to improve risk discussions across operations, technology and finance.

Department representatives could use Foundation to establish shared terminology. Practitioners running assessments could consider Risk Manager. The person designing the overall approach and coordinating its improvement could consider Lead Risk Manager. Select a specialist risk course instead if your needs are confined to one domain.

Questions to answer first

  • Do you need to contribute to risk discussions, perform assessments, or lead the approach?
  • Will your risks span business objectives or focus on information security or AI?
  • What professional experience can you document for the credential you plan to apply for?

Lead AI Risk Manager

Compare this for a dedicated focus on risks associated with artificial intelligence.
