ISO 27001 - Clause 6.1 Actions to address Risks & Opportunities

ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Clause 6.1 focuses on "Actions to address risks and opportunities." This crucial section mandates organizations to establish, implement, and maintain processes to assess information security risks and opportunities. It requires identifying the risks related to the loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability for information within the scope of the ISMS. Organizations must consider how these risks and opportunities can affect the ISMS's ability to deliver its intended results. By determining the risks and opportunities, organizations are expected to plan actions to address them, integrate these actions into their ISMS processes, and evaluate the effectiveness of these actions, supporting the continuous improvement and effectiveness of the ISMS.
