AWS Security Assurance Services is announcing the release of our latest compliance guide, ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management on AWS, which provides practical guidance for organizations establishing and operating a risk management program in AWS environments using ISO 31000:2018 principles.

The guide explains how organizations can integrate AWS services into their risk management processes to support the core components of ISO 31000:2018, including establishing context and criteria, conducting risk assessments, implementing risk treatments, and enabling continuous monitoring and review. It also highlights how AWS security, automation, and monitoring capabilities can help customers identify areas for improvement and help enforce controls at large. The guide includes:

  • An overview of the ISO 31000:2018 risk management framework, including context and criteria, risk assessment, risk treatment, and monitoring and review. You will learn how to apply ISO 31000’s core principles within AWS environments and use AWS services for risk identification, detection, treatment, and monitoring.
  • Governance and risk treatment considerations aligned with the AWS Shared Responsibility Model. This includes strategies for risk avoidance, mitigation, transfer, and acceptance.

By combining ISO 31000 risk management principles with AWS security services, organizations can build scalable, automated environments that help support continuous risk identification, proactive treatment, operational visibility, and ongoing compliance readiness.
