ISO 31000: people are certified, companies are not
ISO 31000 sets out principles, a framework and a process for managing risk, and ISO says any organization can use it, whatever its size, activity or sector. It is a guideline rather than a requirements standard, and ISO states that it cannot be used for certification purposes, though it does give guidance for internal and external audit programs.
What can be certified is the person who applies it. The PECB ISO 31000 Risk Manager exam covers three domains:
- Fundamental principles and concepts of risk management
- Establishing the risk management framework
- Application of the risk management process
It is the only ISO 31000 course on this site. If your organization needs a certificate it can show customers, choose a standard that can be certified: the ISO 27001 Lead Implementer course covers running the risk assessment inside an ISMS, which a certification body can certify.
The credential's US accreditation
PECB certifies people under ISO/IEC 17024, which sets the requirements for bodies that certify people. Its accreditation from IAS, the International Accreditation Service (PCB-111, certificate valid to 1 January 2027), a US accreditation body, includes ISO 31000 Risk Manager in its scope. That accreditation is of PECB's certification of you; the course itself is not accredited, and Mindset Cyber sells it as an authorized PECB training partner.
Your experience decides which credential you hold after the exam. Passing with none gets you ISO 31000 Provisional Risk Manager. To hold ISO 31000 Risk Manager, PECB looks for two years of professional experience, including a year in risk management, and 200 hours of project experience.
