Academic interest in risk management research has increased in recent years. What was previously treated in isolation, nowadays, is essential to be addressed throughout the organization. Thus, the steps that make up the company’s risk management processes must be continuously studied in order to achieve the strategic objectives proposed by top management. In this context, it should be noted that the Critical Success Factors (CSF) to the implementation of a risk management process, as areas in which the results, if satisfactory, will ensure a successful competitive performance for the organization, should be analyzed systematically. One way to achieve this analysis in relation to CSF is through the use of globally recognized standards such as ISO 31000: 2018. Therefore, this article aims to identify the insertion of the study on CSF in scientific productions focused on the ISO 31000: 2018 Risk Management standard. In order to reach the aim, a descriptive and content analysis was carried out with samples of documents extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection and the Scopus database, from 2008 to 2018. After the analyzes, it was possible to identify the evolution of the number of publications, the diversity of journals and authors interested in the subject, the most influential articles, and finally, the relevance of the public-private partnership and the influence of ERP systems on performance management business.
