Sarah Clarke

Infospectives founder, governance specialist, and tech translator. Listed as one of the most influential women in UK tech (2022 and 2023). Vendor security governance lecturer for Manchester University and passionate about building understanding of technology risk.

 

Foster understanding, enable better decisions

“During two decades working in the financial services sector and as an independent consultant, I have gained some valuable insight into our technology governance challenges. The technical core is vital, but we need a consistent handle on the bigger risk picture. The core challenges, while driven by laws and legal compliance, are centred on making and scaling the right effort. Using risk to rapidly identify priorities. That is at the core of all Infospectives offerings.”

Solidifying GRC foundations, improving communications, and risk-reduction

“That might involve a discrete data protection gap analysis, support to explore AI due diligence, mapping your strategic GRC challenges, improving change and vendor governance, or integrating a new regulatory requirement into an existing process. It all needs to respect the nature of the organisation, risk management capacity, and broader organisational objectives.”

“Making governance make business sense”

Sarah Clarke is an award winning writer and highly respected governance specialist. Emeritus Fellow and former Director of For Humanity. A non-profit designing AI audit and oversight solutions.

For the past 20 years she has gained a rare breadth of insight into tackling governance, risk, and compliance in depth, at speed, and at both startup and corporate scale. She is an award-winning blog writer, frequent contributor to other publications, international speaker, and a guest lecturer for the Manchester University IT Governance masters course.

She served as advisory board member for IASME, the National Cyber Security Centre backed body that oversees the Cyber Essentials (CES) certification scheme and a startup company in the governance space. A vocal advocate for respect for both human rights and ethics in development, while working to operationalise consideration of both.  

Her overarching aim is to make it simpler to do things in a secure and privacy-respecting way. Whether that be through smart simplification, clearer risk communication, maturing governance functions, or automation.
