ISO 28002:2011 for Risk Managers
What does ISO 28002:2011 require of a Risk Manager?
ISO 28002:2011 covers requirements for a supply chain resilience policy built into a management system such as ISO 28000: context and end-to-end supply chain mapping, scope and strategic weightings, top management policy with life safety first, and the full management system cycle of risk and impact assessment with recovery time criteria, prevention, mitigation, response, continuity and recovery programmes, crisis teams, warning and communication, supplier verification, exercises, audit and management review. 37 leaves read against the complete identical Russian adoption. Under ISO 28002:2011, which defines 37 controls, a Risk Manager's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which ISO 28002:2011 controls land on the Risk Manager
Risk Managers identify, assess, and prioritise organisational risks. They build risk registers, conduct risk assessments, define risk appetite, and ensure that compliance frameworks address the most material threats to the organisation.
ISO 28002:2011 defines 37 controls across 6 domains that directly affect the Risk Manager role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
