Where in the taxonomy do avoidance controls play a role in reducing Loss Event Frequency?

Avoidance controls are primarily aimed at preventing situations that could lead to a loss event, which directly affects the frequency at which such events may occur. In the context of the FAIR taxonomy, Loss Event Frequency refers to how often a potential loss event is likely to happen over a specific timeframe. By utilizing avoidance controls, organizations can eliminate the conditions or behaviors that give rise to potential losses, thereby reducing the frequency of these events.

Contact Frequency, in particular, is concerned with how often an organization interacts with a potential threat or risk scenario. Avoidance controls effectively reduce Contact Frequency by minimizing or removing exposure to threats, thus lowering the likelihood of loss events occurring. This alignment makes Contact Frequency the most relevant area concerning how avoidance controls contribute to decreasing Loss Event Frequency within the FAIR framework.
