In an era marked by rapidly evolving threats—from cyber incidents and regulatory pressures to geopolitical instability and supply chain vulnerabilities—managing risk has become a strategic priority. Risk is no longer just a technical issue; it’s a boardroom concern.
ISO 31000 is the globally recognized standard for risk management, offering principles, a framework, and a process for managing all types of risks—financial, operational, reputational, cyber, and beyond—making it highly relevant for ISO 31000 cyber security initiatives.
Adopting the ISO 31000 risk management framework helps organizations proactively identify, evaluate, and respond to risk in a structured and repeatable way through the ISO 31000 risk assessment process. It enhances decision-making, ensures business continuity, supports compliance with data protection regulations, and builds stakeholder trust.
At Seven Step Consulting Pvt. Ltd., we bring specialized expertise to help organizations implement, optimize, and embed the ISO 31000 risk management process across their enterprise. Our tailored services are designed to align with your industry, regulatory environment, and strategic goals.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the leading international standard for information security management systems (ISMS), while ISO/IEC 27005:2022 provides a structured approach to managing information security risks. Achieving ISO/IEC 27001 compliance demonstrates that your organization has implemented robust security measures to protect sensitive information. Additionally, ISO/IEC 27005 compliance helps you identify, assess, and mitigate security risks effectively, ensuring that your information security measures are aligned with your overall risk management objectives.

Engagement scope
Engagement scope for ISO 31000 risk management
ISO 31000 risk management is the way the leadership team decides which uncertainties get money, time, and a named owner.
Enterprise risk management consultants on our team sit the method above the specialist registers, so information security, privacy, and operational risk are not three unrelated lists.
The risk register carries a cause, a consequence, a current control, and a decision. A title alone is sent back.
Risk appetite is written in sentences the board can accept or reject. A colour chart without those sentences is not an appetite.
We work from Gurugram with leadership teams in India, the UK, and the USA.
What the engagement covers
Categories the board is willing to use
A risk register with owners and review dates
Risk appetite in words, with a few limits expressed as numbers
Treatment actions that have a budget line or an explicit acceptance
A reporting pack the board can read in one sitting
A link to the ISO 27005 work where information security is in scope
