ISO 27005:2022 6.5: Choosing an appropriate method

The information security risk approach and methods are aligned with those used for the organisation's other risks, and the choice is documented. Because ISO/IEC 27001:2022 6.1.2 b) requires repeated assessments to give consistent, valid and comparable results, the method ensures consistency (the same risks in the same context yield similar results whoever assesses them and whenever), comparability (criteria make equivalent levels of different risks come out comparably) and validity (results match reality as closely as possible). Operational risk management methods are the usual choice; the method may treat residual risk in any suitable way, the common practice being to assess likelihood and consequence on current risk.
