ISO/IEC 27005:2022 is the international standard that provides guidelines for managing information security risks. Published in October 2022 by ISO and IEC, it helps organisations implement the risk-management requirements of clause 6.1 of ISO/IEC 27001. It is a non-certifiable standard: it provides guidance, not certifiable requirements.
ISO/IEC 27005:2022 was published in October 2022 by technical committee ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27, succeeding the 2018 edition. It provides guidelines for managing information security risks within an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Unlike ISO/IEC 27001:2022, which defines the certifiable requirements of an ISMS, ISO 27005 describes the risk-management methodology. It helps organisations implement clause 6.1 of ISO 27001 — risk assessment and risk treatment.
The standard structures the process around five main steps: context establishment, risk identification, analysis, evaluation and treatment. Two cross-cutting activities support these steps: communication and consultation, and monitoring and review.
ISO 27005 is neutral with respect to operational methodologies. You can apply it with EBIOS Risk Manager (the ANSSI method), NIST SP 800-30, OCTAVE Allegro, or a proprietary method — as long as it respects the principles and steps described by the standard.
Read ISO 27005 as the "how" behind ISO 27001’s "what": it does not certify you, but it is the methodology reviewers expect to see behind a credible clause 6.1 risk process.
This training prepares professionals to lead risk management as a decision-making discipline, not a compliance exercise. Grounded in ISO 31000, the course focuses on how organizations actually identify uncertainty, evaluate trade-offs, and protect value in complex environments.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the certifiable standard that defines the requirements of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). ISO/IEC 27005:2022 is a guidance standard, non-certifiable, that details how to manage information security risks. ISO 27001 says you must manage risk; ISO 27005 explains how.
