About Clark & Company
Craig Clark is a senior information governance and cyber security practitioner with over a decade of frontline experience in the education sector. He founded Clark & Company in 2016 after observing first-hand how generic, private-sector compliance frameworks were being applied to education institutions at significant cost and with limited effect.
Craig currently serves as Chief Information Security Officer at a London university, where he leads on cyber security strategy, risk management, and information governance at an institutional level. This active operational role means the advice Clark & Company provides is grounded in the realities facing education leaders today not theoretical best practice.
He chairs the IRMS Information Rights Group and holds CIPM certification.

Clark & Company delivers its services through a team of specialist associates drawn from across the information governance, data protection, and cyber security professions. Each associate is selected for their education sector experience and their commitment to the same practical, proportionate approach that underpins everything the firm does. Craig leads strategic engagements and ensures consistency of quality and approach across all client relationships.
