Here is the honest situation. The COSO ERM framework integrates enterprise risk management with strategy and performance across five components and twenty principles: governance and culture, strategy and objective-setting, performance, review and revision, and information, communication and reporting. Building a real ERM capability means board oversight, a defined risk culture and appetite, evaluating strategy against risk, identifying, assessing and prioritising risk, developing a portfolio view, implementing responses, and reviewing and reporting. Doing that and evidencing it is real work, and an organization with a risk register but no appetite, portfolio view or board oversight is exactly where organizations fall short.
This Kit removes that build. It is every COSO ERM principle written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence an assessor examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the COSO Enterprise Risk Management framework (2017), with governance and culture, strategy and objective-setting, performance and risk assessment, review and revision, and information, communication and reporting called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is board risk oversight, the first principle of governance and culture. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A capability you cannot evidence does not raise your ERM maturity. This tells you what an assessor examines and where organizations fall short, for every principle.
- Appetite, portfolio and response built in. The risk appetite, the portfolio view and the risk responses are written into the controls, the substance that distinguishes ERM from a risk register.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. COSO ERM aligns with the COSO Internal Control framework and ISO 31000, so this work feeds your wider governance and risk program.
Who buys this
Boards, executives and the risk, audit and strategy functions who own enterprise risk management, plus consultants implementing COSO ERM. Whether it is a first framework or a maturity uplift, you save weeks and walk in with governance, appetite and the portfolio view structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover risk appetite? Yes. Defining and communicating risk appetite aligned to strategy is built as a control.
Does it cover the portfolio view? Yes. Developing a portfolio view of how risks interact against appetite is built as a control.
Does it align with ISO 31000? Yes. COSO ERM and ISO 31000 are complementary, and the controls map across.
