Goal: To identify factors that inhibit and facilitate the implementation of risk management in an entity of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security in Brazil. Methodology/approach: This is a case study with data collection, including documentary research and interviews. To process the data, content analysis and SWOT analysis were used. Originality/relevance: The originality of this study lies in its focus on the implementation of risk management in public agencies in Brazil, particularly in the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP). While risk management is widely discussed in the private sector and internationally in the public sector, it remains a relatively new phenomenon within Brazilian public organizations. Main findings: Sixteen factors for the implementation of risk management were identified, divided into eight inhibiting factors and eight facilitating factors. Strengths are related to the actions of managers, while weaknesses refer to the lack of training, awareness, and participation of employees. Opportunities arise from government central policies, and threats are linked to changes in upper management. Theoretical contributions: The theoretical contribution of this work resides in identifying and classifying inhibiting and facilitating factors for the implementation of risk management in an agency of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP), providing a detailed analysis of these factors based on empirical evidence. Management contributions: The study analyzes factors that impact the implementation of risk management in a public security agency, emphasizing the need to improve communication and awareness among employees.
