Across industries, FAIR Institute members share a common challenge: how to demonstrate their understanding of the FAIR™ model in a way that builds confidence with leadership and peers. Whether through workshops, case studies, or peer exchanges, one question consistently surfaces:
“How can I prove that I truly understand FAIR and can apply it in my organization?”

Cyber risk professionals know that adopting FAIR opens new opportunities to measure and communicate risk in financial terms. But translating that knowledge into recognized credibility is another step. Leaders want assurance that their teams can not only learn the framework but also apply it effectively to support strategic decisions.
To meet this need, the FAIR Institute created the Certification Program, a trusted, community-driven way to validate FAIR knowledge and application skills. Designed with input from members and industry experts, the program ensures that practitioners can:
- Demonstrate competence in applying the FAIR model to real-world risk scenarios
- Build credibility with executives, auditors, and regulators
- Advance career opportunities by showcasing a globally recognized credential
The CCRP Bundle is the complete training path to earn the Certified Cyber Risk Professional (CCRP) certification. Candidates must complete all four required courses, FAIR Foundations, FAIR Cyber Risk Analysis, FAIR Mathematics, and FAIR Cyber Risk Communication, followed by the CCRP online exam. A minimum of 3 years of relevant professional experience in cyber, risk, or security is required before certification. The CCRP designation validates expertise in quantitative cyber risk management using the FAIR™ model.
This new program builds on the foundation of the FAIR Fundamentals course and takes the next step by validating expertise. It combines in-depth FAIR training, hands-on case studies, and a formal evaluation to ensure that participants can demonstrate not only knowledge but also real-world application. Ultimately, you earn a credential that signals to peers, leadership, and the broader industry that you are serious about quantifying risk and making informed decisions.
Already, members across various sectors, including financial services, healthcare, and government, are pursuing certification to benchmark and grow their FAIR practices. By earning certification, practitioners not only strengthen their own professional profile but also help raise the standard of cyber risk management across the FAIR community.
Whether you’re early in your risk management career or an experienced practitioner seeking to formalize your knowledge, this program offers a powerful way to strengthen your skills, gain confidence, and enhance your impact.
Certification is more than a title; it’s a career accelerator and a signal that you are part of a global movement advancing quantitative risk management.
