What is ISO 27001 Clause 8.2: Information Security Risk Assessment?
ISO 27001 Clause 8.2: Information Security Risk Assessment requires organisations to conduct information security risk assessments as determined in Clause 6.1.2 at planned intervals or when any significant change is proposed in the ISMS.
The information security risk assessment is designed to assess threats and vulnerabilities to the organisation. This step helps senior leadership to factually assess the organisation’s situation and treat the risks accordingly. The organisation must perform information security risk assessments at regular intervals to fulfil the continual improvement element of ISO 27001 and must keep these information security risk assessment reports in a documented form.
