Identity and role

Van der Veer founded the OWASP AI Exchange in 2022. The source states he is Chief AI Officer at Software Improvement Group, lead author of ISO/IEC 5338 (the AI lifecycle standard), and a founding contributor to OpenCRE.¹ These claims are the source’s own and are not independently verified here.

Relevance to This Wiki

He is the provenance behind the Exchange’s standards-liaison position. The source states he currently works in ISO/IEC 27090 (AI security) and ISO/IEC 27091 (AI privacy), and on the EU AI Act security work at CEN/CENELEC, where the EU member states elected him co-editor.¹

The Exchange states it contributed 70 pages each to prEN 18282 and ISO/IEC 27090.¹ Neither figure is verified here, and both run through one named individual rather than an anonymous project. That concentration is why IEC 42001 treats the Exchange’s ISO/IEC 27090 and prEN 18282 contributions as a single source rather than as two independent corroborations of each other.

Outputs

The AI Exchange itself is his principal output: it began as the “AI security and privacy guide” in October 2022 and was rebranded “AI Exchange” a year later to emphasize global collaboration.¹ OWASP awarded the project Flagship status in March 2025, alongside the OWASP GenAI Security Project.¹

Notable Statements

The source states 34 years of experience in AI and security, attributed to van der Veer without further breakdown.¹ No independent biography or CV corroborates the figure or the ISO/IEC 5338 authorship claim in this pass; both are recorded here as the AI Exchange’s own attribution.
