Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRick Van Galen is a Security Architect and Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and operationalizing product and application security across European and global organizations. He has led product security roadmaps and compliance efforts at Onegini, scaled application security as a Tech Lead/Staff Engineer at 1Password, and now focuses on strengthening Europe’s digital sovereignty at EIDP. His background spans penetration testing, mobile and payment security research, SAP and enterprise mobility, giving him a broad offensive and defensive perspective on risk. Rick blends strategic security leadership with practical engineering—writing code, coordinating testing, and embedding secure design into product lifecycles. Based in the Randstad, he pairs a Master’s in Information Security from the University of Twente with a track record of turning compliance and audit requirements into usable, secure products. An underappreciated strength: many of his roles combine customer-facing compliance responsibilities with deep technical delivery, so he translates regulatory needs into developer-friendly solutions.
