Who should take the EBIOS Risk Manager training?
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 training is designed for professionals who participate in, lead, or review information security risk assessments based on the EBIOS RM method. This includes operational security staff, risk managers, consultants, and decision-makers who must rely on EBIOS-based risk analyses.
As EBIOS RM becomes the dominant risk assessment approach in regulated environments, organizations increasingly need internal capability rather than external-only expertise. In 2024–2025, many audits and supervisory reviews expect stakeholders to understand the logic behind risk scenarios, not just accept conclusions. This training addresses that gap.
Typical participants include information security officers supporting ISO 27001, consultants delivering EBIOS studies, and managers responsible for approving risk treatment decisions. The training is also relevant for professionals transitioning from qualitative or asset-based risk methods to scenario-driven analysis.
Participants use the training to actively contribute to risk workshops, challenge assumptions in threat scenarios, and ensure that risk treatment decisions are aligned with organizational priorities. Managers benefit by being able to interpret and question results rather than delegating all judgment to analysts.
The course is often paired with ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor roles for broader governance responsibilities.

Expert Insight
Not everyone attending EBIOS RM training intends to become a full-time risk analyst, and that’s appropriate. In practice, the most effective organizations have managers who understand EBIOS logic well enough to challenge scenarios constructively. We often advise participants to focus less on memorizing steps and more on understanding why scenarios are credible or not. That skill is what improves risk governance maturity.
““We see many managers approving risk treatments they don’t fully understand. This training gives them the ability to ask the right questions.””
