ISO/IEC 27001: Risk Register Overview

ISO/IEC 27001 Risk Register is a document that identifies and records potential risks to an organization’s information security system. It is a comprehensive list of all the risks that have been identified and assessed, along with the associated mitigation strategies. The Risk Register should be maintained and updated regularly to ensure that all risks are properly identified, assessed, and addressed. It should also be used to track progress on the implementation of risk management strategies, as well as to identify any new risks that may arise. The Risk Register should be reviewed periodically to ensure that all risks are being managed in an effective and efficient manner. Additionally, the Risk Register should be reviewed by senior management to ensure that the organization is taking appropriate steps to protect its information assets.
