ISO 27005 Risk Manager

The ISO/IEC 27005 Risk Manager certification qualifies professionals to design, operate, and maintain an information security risk management process aligned with ISO/IEC 27005:2022. It validates the ability to identify, analyze, evaluate, treat, and communicate information security risks in support of ISO/IEC 27001 compliance.

ISO/IEC 27005 provides detailed guidance on performing information security risk assessments and treatments required by ISO/IEC 27001. It explains how to meet Clause 6.1.2 by defining context, evaluating risks, and selecting controls in a structured, auditable way.

There are no formal prerequisites for the ISO/IEC 27005 Risk Manager certification, but participants are expected to have basic knowledge of information security and familiarity with ISO/IEC 27001 concepts. Prior exposure to risk management activities is strongly recommended.

ISO/IEC 27005 defines a risk management framework rather than a single assessment method, while EBIOS, NIST, and similar approaches provide specific analysis techniques. ISO 27005 allows organizations to select and justify methods within a standardized lifecycle.
