Abstract
In this thesis, the compatibility between the standards developed in ISO/TC 223 – Societal Security and the standards developed in ISO/TC 262 – Risk Management, is examined. A joint qualitative method of analysis, consisting of document analysis and semi-structured interviews, is applied. With the help of an operational definition of compatibility, the study results in a coefficient of compatibility with the value 0.83, where 1 would be maximum compatibility. Some incompatibilities between standards are identified in the study, such as differing descriptions of the risk management process. Possible causes to the incompatibilities are identified, such as the fact that some standards are developed in accordance with Annex SL, while others... (More)

Some incompatibilities between standards are identified in the study, such as differing descriptions of the risk management process. Possible causes to the incompatibilities are identified, such as the fact that some standards are developed in accordance with Annex SL, while others are not. Some suggestions to handle these incompatibilities are derived, such as revising ISO 31000:2009 in accordance with Annex SL. (Less)
