An ISO 27001 Risk Treatment Plan Template defines how identified risks are addressed through appropriate controls, ensuring that security risks are reduced to acceptable levels within your Information Security Management System (ISMS). Risk assessment identifies threats - but without a clear treatment plan, risks remain unresolved. Many organizations struggle to move from risk identification to actionable control implementation, leading to gaps in security and compliance. This template provides a structured way to define how risks will be treated, which controls will be applied, and how implementation will be tracked, ensuring alignment with ISO 27001:2022 requirements.
If you deliver ISO or governance consulting projects, the Consultant Pack provides reusable documentation frameworks, risk tools, and audit templates across multiple standards. See what’s included →
