Risk management and prevention methodologies: a comparison

Abstract

In this paper we analyze nine risk management and prevention methodologies, carrying out a comparison of the stages that they include and determining if they take into account the human factor in the risk analysis and treatment. We observe that only 42.85% of the studied management risk methodologies include this factor and conclude that the NIST [National Institute of Standards and Technology] Risk Management methodology is the most complete, although it would be desirable for it to focus more on the human factor like the IDB [Inter-American Development Bank] Corruption Diagnosis, Prevention and Control in Programs of Civic Security methodology.
