Is there a common list of Risk Frameworks that logically categorize common IT Risk Statements?

Hello all: I've been struggling with how to properly categorize risk by the Risk Framework in the GRC Risk Application.  I've taken the GRC Fundamentals class and the examples of Risk Framework categories were: 

1. Physical and Environmental Threats

2. Third Party and Supply Chain Threats

I understand SN does not provide content, but has anyone curated a good set of Risk Frameworks they'd like to share?  We've referenced NIST, but can't find the right fit.

Probably NIST is the most used but there are few others from ISACA or ISO - it all depends of your organization. The security and privacy control families outlined by NIST 800-53 are flexible, customizable and can be implemented by organizations as part of their overall risk management strategy. The controls cover areas such as access control, security awareness training, formal risk assessments, incident response or continuous monitoring to support organizational risk management. Have you read the information provided by NIST already?
