What the ISO 42001 Risk Assessment Template is

This download is a fully-interactive Microsoft Excel spreadsheet engineered based on C.3 “Risk Management” of ISO / IEC 42001:2023 (Artificial-Intelligence Management Systems, AIMS).

  • 65 pre-written risks covering risk source in Annex C (Environment, Machine-Learning, Organisational, Legal/Ethical, Societal/Environmental, Hardware, Life-Cycle, Emerging Tech).
  • Built-in evaluation engine that calculates inherent score, residual score and shows status.
  • Control mapping—each risk is pre-linked to the exact 42001 control topic (e.g. “B 6.2.5 AI system Deployment”, “B 8.2 System documentation and information for users”) so you can demonstrate traceability in one click.
  • Action tracker Mark a risk for “Treatment”, assigning owners, due dates, priorities and implementation status.

When to use it

Situation Why the template helps
Planning an ISO 42001 certification project Jump-starts Clause C.3 without a blank-page. Upload the workbook as objective evidence in Stage 1.
Integrating AI governance into an existing ISO 9001/27001 IMS Uses the same risk terminology (Impact × Likelihood matrix) and colour coding, so your team can slot it into the current risk register.
Vendor or internal model review Evaluate each AI service or model against a uniform risk baseline before procurement or deployment.
Annual AIMS management-review Re-score impact/likelihood, watch residual heat-maps change automatically, and export the new state for management minutes.
Consultancy engagements Provide clients an editable, white-label deliverable instead of screenshots or PDFs.

How to use it

  1. Open the “Intro” sheet
    Read the  quick-start and set your organisation’s risk appetite (1–25 range). All formulas update.
  2. Adjust pre-seeded risks (or hide what doesn’t apply)
    Add your context in the “Applicability” column.
  3. Score inherent risk
    Select “Impact” and “Likelihood”. The “Risk Level” column and heat-map cell change colour (green ≤ appetite, amber close, red > appetite).
  4. Decide treatment
    Choose “Treat”, “Tolerate”, “Transfer” or “Terminate”. 
  5. Customise and accept controls
    Each risk already lists candidate ISO 42001 controls; you can add non-standard mitigations in the extra column provided.
  6. Calculate residual risk
    After controls are implemented, update the residual Impact / Likelihood columns—remaining risk level re-calculates and “Below Appetite?” flips to Yes/No.
  7. Export evidence for audit
    Print to PDF or paste charts into your AIMS management-review deck. Auditors see risk→control traceability, treatment decisions, implementation status and residual scoring—all in one file.
