I have read some knowledge base of ISO 27001, and ISO 27001 Risk Mgt in Plain English, I found it useful and help me to understand more about Risk Management, but I still confuse how to start to do risk management follow this ISO framework.

Business Impact Analysis
I work for a large global company and I’m currently performing the Business Impact Analysis for the UK which includes 15 different departments. So for each Business Impact Analysis questionnaire I completed them for the department as a whole rather than by each different activity so there’s a Business Impact Analysis for Finance, another for HR etc. So when I complete the Activity Recovery Strategy it will be per department.

Filling out the Treatment Table
When filling out the Treatment Table there are the columns Selection of Options and Means of Implementation. Both offer a selection of inputs. Is it mandatory to use these selections or can you use some other inputs that are not in the selection table? For instance can I add Other measures tot the "Selection of Options" and "Scan all documents to be stored on secure NAS, Destroy all physical documents".
My question regards to how thorough the list of assets should be. With an example; in our data center there´s data rooms, offices and so on. Even one of the stories is empty and might eventually be rented to some other company. I understand that we should make a difference among offices, data rooms, electrical – cooling – other infrastructure rooms inside of the building, since there´s different threats and vulnerabilities to each one of them that should be addressed differently and with different access levels and permissions.
