As observed at the 4th International Conference on Global e-Security in London in June 2008, Information Security Risk Management (ISRM) is a major concern of organizations worldwide. Although the number of existing ISRM methodologies is enormous, in practice a lot of resources are invested by organizations in creating new ISRM methodologies in order to capture more accurately the risks of their complex information systems. This is a crucial knowledge-intensive process for organizations, but in most cases it is addressed in an ad hoc manner. The existence of a systematic approach for the development of new or improved ISRM methodologies would enhance the effectiveness of the process (Papadaki et al, 2008). In this review, we examine existing ISRM methodologies, analyse trends in the development of new or improved methods and highlight gaps in research on the subject. The overarching research questions that form the foundations for this study were consequently formulated as follows:…
