Reach Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
FAIR is a quantitative information risk management framework standardised under The Open Group (Open FAIR). Defines a vocabulary + methodology for measuring loss-event frequency + magnitude in financial terms, enabling risk decisions to use the same units as other business decisions. Used by mature risk programmes to complement qualitative risk-matrix approaches. Quick Policy maps Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.
Standards assurance
How Quick Policy verifies against FAIR_V1
Every policy Quick Policy generates is scored against FAIR_V1's pass mark, with a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict and plain-English guidance on what to fix when it falls short.
A monthly automated audit re-checks coverage against this standard, so drift is caught between scheduled reviews rather than at the next one.
Audit-ready exports bundle the scored policies, gap guidance, and review history into one evidence pack when it is time to show your work.
