The ISO 31000 standard gives you a structured framework of international best practices for managing risks and opportunities. Following this framework will increase your chance of reaching your business objectives. It will help you analyse and assess factors that work for or against your objectives, make better decisions and improve management techniques across your organisation.
Achieving certification to the ISO 31000 Citation ISO Certification Scheme will send a clear message to your employees, customers, and other stakeholders that you are committed to managing risks in every part of your business. It will protect your business from internal and external threats while increasing public confidence in your management abilities. This will enhance your company’s reputation and give you a competitive advantage when bidding for commercial tenders.
Public, private and community enterprises can all benefit from ISO 31000 because it covers most business activities, including research, planning, management and communications. Although you probably manage risk to some extent, this international standard will provide you with best practice management techniques. It will enable you to analyse your risks and opportunities across all business functions, at all times, and at every level of management.
Here are the top benefits of using the ISO 31000 framework:
Improve operational efficiency and governance
Increase stakeholder confidence in your risk management techniques
Strengthen operational controls, including mandatory and voluntary reporting
Improve your business performance, crisis management and organisational resilience
Respond to change effectively and protect your business as you grow

As a Risk Management Framework Standard, you cannot be directly certified to the ISO Standard. We have taken the risk management framework in the Standard and converted this into a fully-functional Management System certification scheme. Certification for ISO 31000 is optional; you can, if you wish, opt for implementation only. Either way, our expert consultants will make the process as straightforward as possible for you. This includes helping your business make any necessary changes to its processes.
Our 3-stage certification scheme process ensures you get the help you need at every step. We can even create your Risk Management Manual for you, saving you time and money.
Once you have achieved certification to the Citation ISO Certification Scheme, you will need to pass an audit each year. This is to ensure your business continues to benefit from the ISO 31000 Certification Scheme risk management framework. Your first audit will be one year after you receive your certificate.

[The Consultant] visited us to complete our external ISO audit. I explained to [him] that I am new to the process and have recently taken ownership of Soilfix's internal BMS auditing procedure.During the audit [the Consultant] was careful to explain each piece of information he required and where it linked into the clauses and standard. This was very beneficial to both myself and my colleague, as it demonstrated to us that we are going along the right track with our internal auditing process in support of retaining our ISO accreditations.
