BSI’s Craig Civil on implementing ISO/IEC 42001 within the organisation
The launch of ISO/IEC 42001 represents a significant step forward in global AI standards, providing a structured framework for organizations to establish, implement, maintain and continuously improve an AI management system. ISO 42001 focuses on operational improvements at all levels of the organization rather than the technical nature, and outlines policies and procedures for best practices in the use of AI.

“We will be adopting ISO/IEC 42001 at the British Standards Institution as it provides a good model to demonstrate best practice in data collection, data analysis and algorithm development and testing,” said Craig Civil, director of data science and AI at BSI.
The BSI has introduced new measures, including certification, to ensure the responsible use of AI. This initiative follows research indicating that 61% of organizations support the creation of global guidelines for AI technology.
BSI plans to use generative AI to improve the implementation of ISO/IEC 42001. “Generative AI models trained on public internet data can be risky or produce inaccurate answers,” Civil said. “To address this, we implemented rapid engineering and content definition techniques to ensure that AI answers are based only on the questions asked by customers.”
In this video interview with Information Security Media Group, Civil also discussed:
- “Trust in AI” Report results and regional variations in the international AI maturity model;
- The need to develop AI policies and guidelines within organizations;
- Applying generative AI to make standards content more searchable and interactive for users.
Civil has 30 years of experience in data across multiple industry sectors, both public and private. At BSI, he has been developing and innovating in the field of data science and AI for the last three years.
