Under construction · early release December 2026
Security & compliance for companies without a security department
Governator is an AI-guided platform that walks a business owner or manager through real security and compliance — ISMS, NIS2, GDPR — in plain language, one decision at a time. No frameworks to learn, no consultant on the clock.

“This is not for me…”
Because the question is no longer whether someone will ask you to prove it, but who asks first: a customer, an insurer, a regulator — or an attacker.
NIS2 obliges thousands of larger European companies to check that their suppliers are secure. They pass the question down the chain. No credible answer means no contract: it goes to whichever competitor can prove its security.
Cloud subscriptions, shared drives, mailing tools, AI assistants: each one processes personal data on your behalf. Most small companies have never written down what they use, where the data goes, or who they would have to inform within 72 hours of a breach.
Quotes, contracts, customer lists and source files are pasted into free AI tools every day. Many of those tools learn from what they are given. Without a simple, enforced rule, your intellectual property is training someone else's model.
Attackers automate. They do not pick the biggest company; they pick the one with the open door. One encrypted server and a month without invoices is enough to end a 15-person business.
None of this needs a security department. It needs someone who knows what matters for your company, decides with you, writes it down, and comes back when it is time to check. That is what Governator does.
What Governator is
Governator is not another checklist tool. You talk; it asks the right questions, explains why they matter, and proposes the next step. Every answer, decision and piece of evidence lands in a structured information-security management system — ISO 27001-shaped, NIS2-ready, GDPR-aware — without you ever operating an ISMS tool.
Before the first conversation it has looked at your public footprint: website, company register, mail and domain set-up. It opens with findings, not a blank form.
A few questions at a time, each with the reason it matters. Built for the owner or manager, not for a security engineer.
Policies, risks, controls and evidence are filled in from the conversation. At audit or questionnaire time, the file is already there.
Backup restore tests, policy reviews, certificate renewals: it keeps a plan per company and follows up on schedule — with restraint, not nagging.
Who decided what, when and why stays with the company, not in someone's head or a consultant's laptop.
It never takes an irreversible action on its own. Every proposal is recorded, attributed and reversible.
How it works
A short conversation. It already knows your public footprint and starts with concrete quick wins.
It proposes what to fix first and why. You approve, delegate or defer. Each decision is written into your file.
A customer questionnaire, an insurer's conditions, a NIS2 or GDPR question: the answer and the evidence are ready.
The platform is under construction. An early release is planned for December 2026, open to a few select pilot customers, with the full product following in 2027.
The team
We have done this job ourselves: built and secured SaaS platforms, taken a company to ISO 27001, and put AI into production. Governator is what we wish every company could have.
Founder · Chief Governor
Peter is no stranger to innovation or information security. As CTO/CISO at Olympus Mobility, he built a highly available SaaS platform from the ground up and took the company from zero to ISO 27001 certification, designing the ISMS himself. Governator grew out of that experience: the security officer he wished every SME could have. He holds a Master’s in Computer Science and the CISSP, CISM and CCISO certifications. Away from the screen, he grows and trains bonsai trees and practises karate, two disciplines that reward patience and consistency.
Co-Founder · Governor of Technology
David has worked in IT for 30 years. He started out running networks and servers in the Belgian Air Force and went on to more than 15 years as a software architect, full-stack engineer and team lead, building secure cloud platforms for companies like Swiss Re and ArcelorMittal. His focus is security-by-design: identity and access management, Infrastructure as Code and robust, tested architecture. At Governator he designs and builds the platform, and makes sure it is secure, reliable and hosted in Europe, so you can trust it with your own security.
Co-Founder · Governor of Strategy
Stefan works where strategy, technology and the future meet. As a digital and AI transformation director, he has led AI innovation projects, including AI summarisation and synthetic voice, and helps organisations turn digital ambitions into concrete choices. He teaches futures thinking at Arteveldehogeschool and recently completed a postgraduate in Applied Ethics at KU Leuven (cum laude), focused on how AI exposes blind spots in the way we assess technology risk. At Governator he shapes strategy, positioning and the responsible-AI thinking behind Governator.
Advisor
Tim builds AI that works in production, not just in demos. At Dataroots he built the generative and agentic AI practice from the ground up, then led agentic AI globally for Talan, working on more than 50 agentic deployments that together served millions of users. He has since worked in New York with Fortune 500 companies and AI labs on specialised models and the infrastructure behind them. Tim holds a research master’s in psychology from KU Leuven, where he modelled brains with AI.
Advisor
Jordy is a research scientist focused on making AI honest about what it doesn’t know. He holds a PhD in Engineering Sciences from KU Leuven, created the DUDE document-understanding benchmark (ICCV 2023, 210+ citations) and has published more than 15 papers at venues including ICML and ICCV. As founding AI research engineer at Contract.fit he built production document AI for insurance, finance and legal; at Instabase he led model development for its generative AI platform.
