Africa's
Data Standard
Measured. Scored. Assured.
The first unified assurance standard for Africa’s enterprise data platforms—built on evidence, not assumptions.
Powered by the Fidelra Assurance Framework (FAF™)
An Evidence-Driven Standard for Africa’s Data Maturity
Benchmark your data platforms through FAF™ auditable scoring model, risk-aligned maturity assessment, and execution-ready modernization paths—designed for Africa’s regulatory and operational realities.
The Five Domains of the Fidelra Data Standard
A unified, evidence-driven standard that defines how data platforms are measured, compared, and improved—across five core domains of modernization, compliance, resilience, automation, and governance.
MEASURED UNDER FAF™
Data Modernization
Measured. Proven. Assured.
Resilient, cloud-ready enterprise data platforms built for performance, governance, and scale.
Data Governance
Enforced governance.
Measured controls. Assured accountability.
Predictable, compliant, audit-ready data platforms—by design.
Data Automation
Automated execution. Measured reliability. Assured outcomes.
Repeatable, scalable operations are enforced through automation—not manual intervention.
Data Resilience
Engineered resilience. Measured risk reduction. Assured continuity.
Resilient, stable, and recoverable data platforms—designed to withstand failure and contain operational risk.
Data Compliance
Measured alignment. Defensible controls. Assured regulatory readiness.
Compliance is enforced through audit-grade evidence, validated controls, and continuous verification.
The Fidelra Assurance Framework(FAF™)
An evidence-based standard for data-platform maturity
FAF™ is Fidelra’s proprietary assurance framework for standardizing and governing enterprise data platforms. It defines how platforms are measured, compared, and improved across five domains: modernization, compliance, resilience, automation, and governance.
FAF™ converts complex technical and operational signals into a consistent, auditable maturity model—enabling organizations to benchmark risk, prioritize action, and govern progress with confidence.
How FAF™ Establishes a Unified Standard for Data Platforms
Fidelra Assurance Framework (FAF™) sets a single, evidence-based standard for data-platform maturity across environments.
FAF™ Ensures
Clear benchmarks across five pillars
Normalized signals, weights, and penalties
Regulatory and architectural comparability
A repeatable baseline for modernization and risk

Explore the
FAF™ Unified Scorecard
Discover how domain scores, weighting, penalties, and evidence-based indicators combine into a single, defensible readiness score.
The score is the output—not the system
The FAF™ Unified Scorecard isn’t a standalone assessment. It’s the measurable output of Fidelra’s data standard—built for consistency, comparability, and defensibility across environments and regulatory contexts.
Each score reflects a unified model for how modern data platforms should be built, governed, and evolved—ensuring alignment across industries and compliance frameworks.
