Open FAIR ™️: Modular Approach 

Organizations can implement Open FAIR ™ in a modular fashion by plugging it into an existing risk management process. It can be phased in slowly or implemented as a forklift upgrade. It is also complimentary to existing security frameworks such as NIST Cyber Security Framework, NIST 800-53, and ISO 27000. 

Open FAIR ™ quickly begins producing quantitative measures of risk that can be used to improve decision making.

Open FAIR ™️: International Standard

FAIR was originally released to the public in 2006. It was later adopted by the Open Group in 2014, making it the only international standard for the quantification of cyber security and operational risk. 

The Open Group has released numerous Open FAIR ™-related publications, including two standards: O-RT, Risk Taxonomy Standard, and O-RA, Risk Analysis Standard. These are available here.
