Peter Høeg Steffensen
Co-Founder, CTO
Peter is the co-founder and CTO of Evident. He started out as a software developer and moved into security engineering, most recently as a Staff Security Engineer at Lunar, where he built compliance programs for EU DORA and designed cryptographic systems supporting one of the fastest-growing fintechs in Europe.
Peter contributes to the OWASP Agentic Security Initiative, helping define how AI-driven systems should be evaluated and secured. He's based in Aarhus, Denmark, and also runs a principal security consulting practice at cloudsec.ai.
He joined Nate to build Evident because questionnaire work is one of the clearest cases where applied AI, done carefully, can replace weeks of manual effort without compromising the accuracy security teams are accountable for.
