Ioana Tanase is a Business Information Security Officer and AI‑focused security leader at Fugro, working at the intersection of AI security, AI governance, and information security governance. Based in the Netherlands, she supports Fugro’s global organisation by embedding risk‑aware, human‑centric security practices into business and technology decision‑making.
At Fugro, Ioana partners closely with business leaders, architects, the data privacy team and technology teams to ensure that security governance scales responsibly alongside innovation. Her work focuses on enabling the safe adoption of emerging technologies- particularly AI- while aligning with regulatory, ethical, and organisational expectations.
Ioana brings a distinctive perspective to security as a psychologist with a security mind, approaching AI and security through a human‑mind‑oriented lens. This background underpins her strong emphasis on security awareness and culture, recognising that sustainable security is built not only through controls and frameworks, but through human behaviour, trust, and understanding.
Through her work, Ioana advocates for responsible AI adoption grounded in governance, transparency, and human‑centric design, helping organisations navigate an evolving risk landscape while building a secure and livable digital future.
