About Team Blaeu
Leadership & Expertise
Rob van Eijk founded Team Blaeu in 2019. We combine deep technical expertise with practical regulatory experience to help organizations navigate the complex intersection of security, privacy, and autonomy.
In Simple Terms
Team Blaeu helps in two key ways: explaining complex technology to courts and lawyers, and working with organizations to build AI systems that protect security and privacy as they become more autonomous.
Expert Witness & Legal Advisory
We help courts and lawyers understand complex technology systems by explaining how they work in clear, understandable terms for legal proceedings and regulatory decisions.
🔴
Red Team AI Testing
We act like "ethical hackers" to find weaknesses in AI privacy protections before bad actors can exploit them. This includes testing systems that protect personal data and learning algorithms to ensure they're truly secure.
🔵
Blue Team AI Security Partnerships
We work with organizations to build stronger privacy protections into their AI systems in two ways: (1) Creating measurement tools to assess privacy risks and ensure AI systems are deployed safely (2) Building communication rules for when agentic AI systems talk to each other, ensuring privacy and security aren't compromised as these systems become more autonomous.
Testimonials
"Als hoofd Toezicht Private sector bij de AP heb ik vele jaren met veel plezier met Rob samengewerkt. Hij is analytisch sterk, bedachtzaam en zeer diplomatiek. Hij beschikt over een grote kennis op het snijvlak van privacy en technologie en weet deze werelden als geen ander met elkaar te verbinden en erover te vertellen. Zijn proefschrift naar Real Time Bidding is daar het exemplarische voorbeeld van. Tot slot, maar ook zeer belangrijk, Rob is gewoon een ontzettende aardige en plezierige collega die ik iedereen in zijn team wens."
[English Translation] "As head of Private Sector Oversight at the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), I enjoyed working with Rob for many years. He is analytically strong, thoughtful and very diplomatic. He has great knowledge at the intersection of privacy and technology and knows how to connect and relate these worlds like no other. His dissertation on Real Time Bidding is the exemplary example of this. Finally, but also very important, Rob is just an incredibly nice and pleasant colleague that I wish everyone on his team."

"I had the chance to work with Rob while I was at CNIL and we collaborated on several projects related to online tracking. Rob has a comprehensive view of the complex ecosystem that is the online advertising industry and also manages to know all the technical and legal details. Rob identifies the key challenges and successfully explains this highly complex topic to non-experts by providing useful examples. He can also design tools and write concise code to implement them."
