ABSTRACT

The objective of this chapter is to review the existing models for assessing risk management maturity that we have identified in the academic literature. We present theoretical aspects of organizational risk management maturity and approaches to defining its levels. We present models for assessing risk management maturity as measuring tools enabling a diagnosis of the level of advancement and development of risk management processes, indicating the target benchmark state, facilitating the identification of areas requiring improvement and stimulating the improvement of risk management in an enterprise. In this chapter we analyse in detail 34 models for assessing risk management maturity, developed between 1997 and 2021. We describe the existing models, using the following criteria: the type of a model, applicability, dedicated sector and method of use. In the next step, we compare the models in terms of the attributes to be assessed and the maturity assessment scales to be used. We also propose our own categorization of the attributes identified in the analysed models.
