Mateusz Wójcik

Practical approach to data security

Mateusz joined Conner Whitlock in March 2018, bringing to the team 12 years of work in the IT and audit sector. During this time, he personally conducted exactly 214 reviews of information management systems in production and trade companies across Mazovia and Greater Poland. He doesn't throw around empty modern buzzwords. Instead, he puts hard facts on the table: how much specifically one hour of downtime after a ransomware attack can cost your company. The average cost for his clients before security implementation was 14,320 PLN for every 60 minutes of system lockout.

His working style is primarily concrete, without fluff and redundant jargon that no one on the board understands. Mateusz proceeds from the assumption that the president doesn't need to know the network model layers, but must know if he faces criminal liability for documentation errors. In 2023, he helped 19 management boards of limited liability companies implement procedures that passed 3 external inspections without any remarks. His reports are usually 8–12 pages of key points, not 150 pages of documentation that ends up in the shredder.

Before he started advising business leaders, he worked for 6 years in a technical team in Gliwice. There, he saw firsthand the results of 47 serious network breaches. This experience taught him that the weakest link is always human error, not a weak antivirus program. That's why his proprietary training for management staff lasts exactly 140 minutes – the time in which he conveys the very essence of knowledge on how not to get robbed by digital scammers.

Mateusz doesn't promise miracles or 99.6% security because in this industry that would be a plain lie. Instead, he guarantees that within 14 working days your company will receive a clear contingency plan and secure its most important digital assets. In the last quarter, his average response time to urgent client inquiries was 34 minutes. He acts fast because he perfectly knows that in cybersecurity, time is saved assets and owner's peace of mind.

Privately, Mateusz values precision, which translates into his professional meticulousness. If a procedure lacks one entry that changes the legal sense of data protection, he will find it. He may sometimes be tedious in his pursuit of order, but thanks to this, his clients avoided a total of 3.2 million PLN in potential administrative fines in 2024 alone. We check what works and what doesn't – that is his daily motto for every project at Conner Whitlock. (PS: He always drinks black coffee without sugar before starting a field audit).
