Risks and opportunities and SWOT

Do we need to determine risks for 4.1 and 4.2. If so, when a SWOT analysis is performed; my understanding is Strength and weakness for internal context represents Opportunity and risks. While Opportunity and threats as the name indicates represent the same for external context. Can you clarify on this please?

Answer:

The organization needs to determine risks related to the context of the organization which means clauses 4.1 and 4.2. SWOT analysis as a methodology was developed long time ago and it doesn't fit 100% into the terminology or needs of the standard. The approach you took is in line with the requirements of the standard and this is a good way to distinguish internal and external issues.
