The FAIR Advantage: Data-Driven Decisions for Risk Management.
Imagine a data breach exposing millions of customer records. Traditional risk assessments, often reliant on subjective scales, struggle to communicate the true impact of such an event. Here’s where the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) framework steps in. FAIR provides a structured approach to analysing, understanding, and quantifying operational and cyber risk in financial terms (Anderson 2018). FAIR’s data-driven approach to assess and prioritise cybersecurity risks compliments other risk frameworks which propose the necessity to quantify risk without offering guidance on how that should be achieved (FAIR Institute 2024). This formulaic approach to risk simples the process of quantifiable risk management, which is profound as it has been deemed by many as an impossible feat (Freund and Jones 2014).
Understanding the Essentials of Data Governance in the Digital Age

This is where Data Governance steps in, serving as a guiding framework that ensures data is managed efficiently and ethically. In this post, we’ll dive deep into the world of Data Governance, exploring its importance, components, and benefits.
