NS-ISO 31000:2018Standard Norge
The principles and process for enterprise risk management: identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment, monitoring and reporting. It is guidance and cannot be certified, but it is used as a reference in internal control and board reporting.
- Compliance management systems, requirements with guidance
NS-ISO 37301:2021Standard Norge
The requirements for a compliance management system: mapping compliance obligations, roles and independence, training, a reporting channel, monitoring and reporting. It is the closest standard to what supervisory bodies mean by documented compliance.
- Anti-bribery management systems, requirements with guidance
NS-ISO 37001:2016Standard Norge
Measures against bribery: risk assessment, due diligence on business associates, gifts and hospitality, third-party controls and investigation. It is used alongside the customer due diligence duties of the Anti-Money Laundering Act in internationally exposed businesses.
- Business continuity management systems, requirements
NS-EN ISO 22301:2019Standard Norge
The requirements for continuity management: impact analysis, recovery times, continuity plans, exercises and review. Financial undertakings and public sector suppliers meet the same requirements again in supervisory rules on operational continuity and outsourcing.
