The DoCRA Council is a not-for-profit (501(C)(3)) organization that authors, maintains, and distributes standards and methods for analyzing and managing risk. The DoCRA Council is comprised of member organizations that require standards of practice in risk analysis and risk management, and who therefore have an interest in the methods used for analyzing risks and reasonable safeguards that reduce risk. DoCRA determines 'reasonable' based upon an organization's mission, objectives, and social responsibility. The DoCRA Council operates under a charter that describes its methods of authorship, review, and stewardship of risk analysis standards and methods.
