Netherlands
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDave Van Stein is a Domain Architect and GRC strategist with 10+ years of experience helping organizations align security, quality, compliance and risk with agile and DevOps ways of working. He specializes in transforming static tollgate processes into continuous, LEAN-aligned controls, designing continuous compliance programs mapped to standards like ISO27001 and SOC2, and embedding fast feedback loops into the software lifecycle. At Xebia he blends hands-on threat modeling, process "pentesting," and tooling guidance with strategy work—often in highly regulated environments—to reduce compliance friction and turn risk management into engineering-friendly practices. He also runs a "paying it forward" consultancy and guest-teaches, reflecting a commitment to mentorship and knowledge sharing beyond client work. A background spanning Security Architecture, BISO roles, and process modeling means he brings both technical depth and practical process design to complex governance challenges. Not obvious from the title: he actively experiments with proposition innovation and runs confidential office-hours to rapidly prototype advice and coach practitioners.
