Peter Szigetvari
@peterszigetvari
Senior information security and GRC leader turning EU regulatory requirements into controls.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior information security and GRC leader with 15 years of experience across regulated industries in Europe. I establish programmes from scratch, take over ones that were failing, and bring structure to organisations where governance was fragmented or inconsistent—diagnosing root causes, rebuilding roadmaps, and restoring executive confidence.
I work across both NIST and ISO ecosystems and turn EU regulatory requirements into controls, mapping to what already exists and implementing only what is genuinely missing. Alongside governance, I direct security operations work including threat management, SOC transitions, security testing and IAM, and I build governance structures that keep leadership informed through risk committees and audit-ready evidence.
