TrustCB was founded in 2018 by Wouter Slegers, together with fellow expert Denise Cater, as an independent Certification Body in Security Assurance schemes.

Wouter Slegers – TrustCB CEO

Wouter is the CEO of TrustCB, building and operating dedicated certification schemes with reliably short time to certification. His strength is creating convincing proofs of why disruptive technology still meets traditional requirements.

From 1997 until 2008, Wouter Slegers, was a senior evaluator at the Dutch NCSA and Brightsight, running globally-innovative evaluations. From 2008 onwards, he is the senior commercial certifier for the Dutch CC scheme NSCIB and sought after consultant.

Wouter has worked on all aspects of CC: as consultant, to support customers in their (pre-)evaluation process; as evaluator, to assess in a strict but fair manner whether the product meets the criteria; as commercial certifier, to verify the evaluator’s work; as a trainer, explaining these items both to the evaluators internally and customers (even certifiers) externally; as founder of a CB, to build the organisation and shape the culture to provide high quality at unheard of efficiencies. His specialties include smartcard attacks and defence, evaluation methodology, high assurance, Common Criteria, in- and out-of-the-box solutions.

Wouter has translated this to create scheme methodologies that have similar assurance and less time to market than their more-traditional counterparts. Wouter has trained 200+ people in the deep theory and applied practice of CC, smartcards and more esoteric topics.

Wouter is a vital member of the CC and smartcard community, secretary of JHAS, member of ISCI WG1, policy preparer of NSCIB, and designer of the FeliCa and MIFARE certification bodies. Wouter has presented at many conferences, including six International Common Criteria Conferences since 2005.
