Working Groups

About the Working Groups

The mission of the Institute's Working Groups is to research new areas of extension of the FAIR standards and framework.

Examples of research projects include modeling of loss data and assessing materiality; measuring controls effectiveness and mapping to the FAIR ontology; threats-to-risk mapping; assessing and managing third-party risk; and cyber insurance underwriting.

Working groups include both active researchers and observers. They are supported by Technical Advisor Safe Security and other Industry Advisors that have deep subject matter expertise. New research projects are approved by the Managing Director.

Active working groups are listed below.
