FAF™ Baseline
Define your data platform posture with evidence — not assumptions regulators will test.
Gain clarity, expose risk, and govern modernization with confidence.
Measured Against Africa’s Data Standard
What is
FAF™ Baseline?
Across modern audits, regulators and internal assurance teams consistently require an evidence-driven, auditable view of an organization’s actual operating state.
FAF™ Baseline provides that view across Modernization, Resilience, Governance, Compliance, and Automation — forming the foundation for defensible decisions.
Most initiatives fail before execution because teams act on assumptions.
When facts are missing:
- Investments misalign
- Risks stay hidden
- Decisions turn reactive
- Audit exposure grows
FAF™ Baseline replaces opinion with proof.

FAF™ Baseline evaluates these domains
Five domains. One unified posture:
- Modernization — Architecture, currency, cloud readiness
- Resilience — HA/DR, backup integrity, recoverability
- Governance — Config consistency, change discipline, audit traceability
- Compliance — Regulatory alignment, security controls
- Automation — Monitoring, patching, repeatability
Each domain scored independently, then combined into a single posture.
Domains are evaluated using observed signals, configurations, and operational evidence — not self-attestation.
FAF™ Baseline Lifecycle
Evidence-driven. Repeatable. Defensible.
Turn Insight Into Action
