Assign topic to the user
Answer:
There is not a specific format or standard to use for documenting those requirements.
For the context of the organization you can develop a procedure or just conduct a SWOT analysis with the relevant people of your organization. Doing so, you are demonstrating that you have determined the internal and external issues of your organization, since there is not a mandatory document regarding the context of the organization.
