Risk Treatment
Deciding and implementing how to address each risk — mitigate, transfer, avoid, or accept — and tracking what's left, deliberately rather than by default.
What it is, and why it matters.
Risk treatment is what happens after assessment: for each risk, you decide how to respond — reduce it with controls, transfer it (e.g. insurance or a supplier), avoid it by changing what you do, or knowingly accept it. The discipline is in making those choices deliberately, aligned to your risk appetite, with the right people signing off on accepted and residual risk. We govern those decisions and orchestrate the implementation, so treatment is real and tracked, not a list of good intentions.
Who it affects.
Any organisation that has identified risks and needs to act on them coherently — and anyone whose ISMS requires a treatment plan and Statement of Applicability.
What it involves.
