The risk management policy template
Identify risks before they become incidents—and respond with confidence.
A risk management policy defines how your organization identifies, evaluates, and responds to information security risks. Without one, teams make inconsistent decisions and auditors have little to work from.
This template gives you a structured, audit-ready starting point for building your risk program. It covers risk categories, a scoring methodology, response strategies (mitigate, accept, transfer, avoid), and a risk treatment plan—all aligned with ISO 27005, NIST 800-30, and NIST 800-37.
Use this template to standardize how your organization handles risk, support compliance with frameworks like ISO 27001, and give leadership the visibility they need to make informed decisions.
