Vivien Lehoczki-Gulyás
Data Protection and Cybersecurity Consultant, Lead Auditor for ISO27001 and ISO27701 – Cybershield Consulting Hungary
As a Data Protection and Cybersecurity Consultant, I help businesses not only comply with regulatory requirements, but also build meaningful resilience against the evolving threats of the digital landscape. In today’s environment, the question is no longer whether a system will be attacked, but when it will be attacked and how prepared we are to respond in a timely manner. Since most incidents derive not from technical failures but from regulatory gaps or human errors, my work focuses on strengthening organizations precisely where they are most vulnerable.
My primary objective is to enhance both data protection awareness and organizational resilience by establishing a process-driven environment capable of effectively preventing, managing, and rapidly recovering from incidents. This process begins with the design, audit, and implementation of comprehensive and immaculate regulatory and compliance frameworks, and is reinforced through targeted employee training and organization-wide awareness-enhancing initiatives embedded into everyday operations.
Linda Veronika Szoke
Office Manager, ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor – Cybershield Consulting Hungary
With nearly 14 years of experience in large corporate environments, a degree in Economics,
and an ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor certificate, she provides invaluable support to our clients
in information security and compliance-related projects. She actively participates in ISO/IEC
27001 and NIS2 audit preparations, and contributes to the development of organizational
processes. In addition to overseeing the company’s day-to-day administrative and
coordination activities, she also excels in project management.
While her background in economics provides her with a strong systems-oriented perspective,
she is equally comfortable in people-focused roles, where her qualifications as a life coach
prove particularly valuable. By balancing strict policies with human considerations, she
strives to create an environment in which operational excellence and employee well-being go
hand in hand.
