ISO 27001 is a risk based management system that requires the management of risk. In fact, just being in business can be risky so having an effective way to manage risk is crucial. I am Stuart Barker and I created the risk register template based on over 20 years in information security to be as simple and effective as it can possibly be. It is easy enough for the novice with the additional elements such as residual risk management for the seasoned practitioner. This risk register template is a must-have.
To save you time I have pre populated it with all of the ISO 27001 annex control risks. Pick and choose which are relevant and save hours of your life copy and pasting them.
I also included a built in management dashboard and report to show risk status, risk treatment and residual risk so you can really show the impact of your risk management efforts simply and effectively to management and auditors.
One of our most popular standalone templates and I am so confident that it will work for you that I will give you your money back if it doesn’t.

Is there a portal version of the ISO 27001 Toolkit?
Answer: No, we do not support portals. There are too many downsides to portals from ongoing costs, training, ambiguity on where the data is and how secure it is … the list is endless.
