Business Interruption Risk

Business interruption risk is the risk that a vendor failure, whether from a cyberattack, natural disaster, or operational failure, disrupts the first party's own business operations. It is one of three Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) model scenarios supported by Black Kite's Financial Impact Rating, alongside Data Breach and Ransomware, calculated using Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors and supply chain ransomware susceptibility.
