ISO 27001 / Conformio questions

1. How should we treat the risk assessment process? Should we consider all the risks within our company and go over a bit or should we be more conservative? For example, should we consider our CEO being on leave as a risk while doing the risk assessment?

Considering the Conformio platform, first, you need to define your Risk Assessment and Risk Treatment Methodology. In the document provided by Conformio, you will define the risk acceptance criteria, i.e., when identified and analyzed risks must be treated. Conformio automatically determines which risks need to be treated based on the acceptance criteria you define.
