About Security Risk Templates

Practical help for the work in front of you.

Security Risk Templates is a SRMBOK publication for people who need to assess security risks, choose treatments and turn plans into action.

Start with a question

You may be building your first risk register, reviewing a supplier, preparing a board paper or checking how information can be shared. The guides start with those needs and explain a manageable way to approach the work.

Each article includes practical reasoning and points to one relevant SRMBOK resource. That may be a template, a worked example, a tool, a guide or a course. The resource page explains its format and any access conditions.

How to use the guides

Adapt examples to the objectives, people, systems and obligations involved in your own work. Fictional examples illustrate a method; they are not evidence that the same treatment will produce the same result elsewhere.

Where a topic depends on a current standard, legal requirement or specialist practice, check the authoritative source and obtain the appropriate expertise. Templates support judgement; they do not make the decision for you.
