Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Digital transformation in public administration has generated complex risks that require systematic approaches. This review analyzes the application of ISO 31000 in digital governance, focusing on e-government and electronic human resource management (E-HRM) systems. Following PRISMA guidelines, 54 studies published between 2009 and 2024 were examined from an initial pool of 228 publications. Findings indicate that ISO 31000 provides a flexible, principle-based framework for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks, enhancing service reliability and accountability. However, adoption in the public sector is limited by political turnover and fragmented resources. Complementary frameworks such as ISO 27005 and COBIT strengthen ISO 31000, yet research on emerging technologies (AI, blockchain, predictive HR analytics) remains insufficient.
