The EBIOS Risk Manager certification qualifies professionals to conduct structured information security risk assessments using the EBIOS RM method mandated by ANSSI. It confirms the ability to build threat-driven risk scenarios, assess risks, and define justified treatment measures aligned with ISO 27001.
The EBIOS Risk Manager certification validates a professional’s ability to perform information security risk assessments using the EBIOS Risk Manager methodology. Certified individuals are qualified to scope an EBIOS study, identify threat ecosystems, construct strategic and operational scenarios, assess risks, and support risk treatment decisions consistent with regulatory and ISO 27001 expectations.
EBIOS RM is the reference risk assessment method promoted by ANSSI and widely used in France and increasingly across Europe. In 2024–2025, regulators and auditors expect risk analyses to be scenario-based, traceable, and defensible. Organizations subject to NIS2, ISO 27001, or sectoral regulations must demonstrate structured reasoning behind security decisions. EBIOS RM directly addresses these expectations.
The certification focuses on the five EBIOS RM workshops, including scope definition, risk sources, strategic scenarios, operational scenarios, and risk treatment. Candidates are trained to apply threat-led reasoning rather than asset-only valuation, aligning with modern cyber risk practices. The exam evaluates knowledge across risk management principles, the EBIOS RM framework, and practical risk assessment execution.
In practice, certified professionals lead or contribute to formal risk studies, support ISMS risk assessments, and present risk findings to governance bodies. The certification is particularly relevant when risk assessments must withstand regulatory review or certification audits.
EBIOS Risk Manager is often followed by deeper specialization in ISO 27001 implementation or sector-specific risk analysis.
In our experience, the main difference between certified and non-certified practitioners is structure. Certified EBIOS Risk Managers consistently separate threat intent, capability, and exposure instead of mixing everything into vague ‘risk statements’. We also see better outcomes when practitioners spend sufficient time on strategic scenarios before jumping into operational ones. Rushing this phase leads to weak risk treatment decisions that don’t survive scrutiny. Strong practitioners treat EBIOS RM as a decision-support method, not a documentation exercise.
““An EBIOS RM study only has value if you can defend it in front of auditors or executives. The certification proves you can explain your reasoning, not just fill in templates.””

EBIOS Risk Manager training is intended for professionals involved in information security risk assessments, including security managers, risk analysts, consultants, and managers who need to understand or validate EBIOS RM studies used for ISO 27001 or regulatory purposes.
The EBIOS Risk Manager exam is a three-hour, open-book, paper-based exam aligned with ANSSI requirements. It assesses knowledge of EBIOS RM principles, framework, and practical risk assessment execution.
The ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer certification qualifies professionals to design, implement, operate, and improve an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001:2022. It validates practical capability to lead ISMS projects and prepare organizations for certification audits.
