In the final episode of Season 3 of Exploring Standards, host Jess is joined by two special guests: Kirsty Wakefield, Information Security Sector Manager at ISOQAR, and Rob Clements, CEO & Director of Assent. Together, they explore one of the most talked-about topics in today’s business world, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the emerging international standard ISO 42001.

Kirsty Wakefield is the Information Security Manager at ISOQAR, where she leads on strengthening information security practices and ensuring compliance with international standards. With expertise in frameworks such as ISO 27001 and emerging standards like ISO 42001, Kirsty supports organisations in building robust governance, risk, and compliance strategies. She plays a key role in helping businesses achieve certification, embedding a culture of trust, accountability, and resilience in their operations.

The discussion begins with an introduction to ISO 42001, why it was created, and how it differs from other well-known standards like ISO 27001 and ISO 9001. Kirsty and Rob explain why AI governance and ethical use are becoming critical for organisations across all sectors, not just tech-heavy industries. They also highlight the main risks of unmanaged AI that the standard helps to address, from transparency and fairness to accountability and compliance.

Listeners will also gain insight into the value of ISO 42001 certification, including how it builds trust with customers and regulators, integrates with existing management systems, and ensures that AI remains ethical and effective. The episode wraps up with practical advice on how organisations can prepare internally for an ISO 42001 audit, and what the process involves from a certification body perspective.
