Getting More from ISO 27001 Risk Management

Information risk management sits at the heart of ISO 27001.  At its best, it helps organisations focus on what matters most, understand their exposure, and make informed decisions about how to respond.

However, many organisations struggle to translate the Standard’s requirements into something that works in practice.  Risk management can become a periodic, documentation-led exercise, rather than a meaningful process that supports day-to-day decisions and directs effort where it matters most.

Following feedback from previous ISO 27001 webinars, this session focuses specifically on risk management.  Drawing on URM’s experience across a wide range of sectors, we will highlight five essential ‘must dos’ that consistently distinguish organisations that simply meet ISO 27001 requirements from those that use them to strengthen performance and resilience.

The session is grounded in real experience, not theory. It will show how to approach information risk in a way that is proportionate, appropriate, and aligned to how the business operates.

By attending, you will gain practical guidance on how to:

• Align risk management with business objectives
• Involve the right people and support better decision-making
• Stay aligned to a changing threat landscape
• Choose and use tools in a way that adds value
• Keep outputs such as risk registers and treatment plans relevant and actionable

If you are questioning whether your current approach to information risk is genuinely supporting the business, or simply meeting requirements on paper, this session will help you identify where to focus for the greatest impact, and the pitfalls to avoid.

If you have any immediate questions, please use the form provided below to ask up to 3 questions.  You will also be able to ask additional questions during the session.  No question will be left unanswered.
