THE FINE PRINT, PROUDLY


WHAT

Practical AI guidance for people who are accountable for AI, not only the people who build it. A weekly newsletter about the rules, risks and decisions that affect everyday AI use.


WHO IT'S FOR

Compliance officers, SMF holders, and professionals in legal, financial, healthcare and insurance settings who need AI to work without breaking the rules.


SCHEDULE

Weekly. One email. No sequences, no drip campaigns.


WRITTEN BY

GCHQ-approved MSc in Cyber Security (University of York), plus 10+ years across systems, networks and enterprise security. I work day-to-day with ISO 27001, NIST CSF and GDPR, and with sector-specific frameworks including FCA, SRA, NHS IG, the EU AI Act and ISO 42001.


THE PROMISE

Every issue is useful on its own. Regulatory changes with the "so what" attached, a governance lesson, and three things to do this week. Plain English throughout. If you never click a link, you've still had your money's worth, which is easy, because it's free.


BEFORE YOU GO

Where do you actually stand?

Take the SAFE™ AI Readiness Assessment

Most firms cannot answer that with confidence, so I built the SAFE™ AI Readiness Assessment. It scores your organisation across ten essential AI governance domains and shows where your biggest gaps are, in plain English. No jargon and no sales call required. Take the free assessment now to see your score, risk level and priority actions.

background

One email a week. No noise .

What changed in AI regulation, what it means for your organisation, and three practical actions to take. Plain English, always free.
