### 6.1.3 Information security risk treatment

The organization shall define and apply an information security risk treatment process to:

a) select appropriate information security risk treatment options, taking account of the risk assessment results;

b) determine all controls that are necessary to implement the information security risk treatment option(s) chosen;

  NOTE Organizations can design controls as required, or identify them from any source.

c) compare the controls determined in 6.1.3 b) above with those in Annex A and verify that no necessary controls have been omitted;


  NOTE 1 Annex A contains a comprehensive list of control objectives and controls. Users of this International Standard are directed to Annex A to ensure that no necessary controls are overlooked.

  NOTE 2 Control objectives are implicitly included in the controls chosen. The control objectives and controls listed in Annex A are not exhaustive and additional control objectives and controls may be needed.

d) produce a Statement of Applicability that contains:

- the necessary controls (see 6.1.3 b) and c));
- justification for their inclusion;
- whether the necessary controls are implemented or not; and
- the justification for excluding any of the Annex A controls.

e) formulate an information security risk treatment plan; and

f) obtain risk owners’ approval of the information security risk treatment plan and acceptance of the residual information security risks.

The organization shall retain documented information about the information security risk treatment process.

NOTE The information security risk assessment and treatment process in this International Standard aligns with the principles and generic guidelines provided in ISO 31000[^5 ].
