Wrap Up
What is FAIR?
- A Methodology for Quantifying and Managing Risk in any Organization
- Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) is the only international standard quantitative model for information security and operational risk.
- FAIR provides a model for understanding, analyzing and quantifying information risk in financial terms.
- It is unlike risk assessment frameworks that focus their output on qualitative color charts or numerical weighted scales.
- It builds a foundation for developing a robust approach to information risk management.
