SO 31000 is a family of standards relating to risk management codified by the International

Organization for Standardization. ISO 31000:2018 provides principles and generic

guidelines on managing risks that could be negative faced by organizations as these could
have consequence in terms of economic performance and professional reputation.
ISO 31000 seeks to provide a universally recognized paradigm for practitioners and
companies employing risk management processes to replace the myriad of existing
standards, methodologies and paradigms that differed between industries, subject matters
and regions. For this purpose, the recommendations provided in ISO 31000 can be
customized to any organization and its context [1].
As of 2020, ISO/TC 262, the committee responsible for this family of standards, has
published five standards, while four additional standards are in the proposal/development
stages.
