About Dan Nelson
As Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer at Digital Silence, I provide privacy and cybersecurity solutions for businesses who are serious about improving compliance and security. Navigating the intricacies of privacy and security is my forte. From ensuring compliance to orchestrating incident responses, I bring a wealth of expertise and experience to ensure our clients are provided the best care. I am a Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) through the EC-Council, a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) through ISC2, and a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/US) through the International Association of Privacy Professionals.The path to my current role started with 27 years as a trial attorney at Armstrong Teasdale, LLP where I co-founded the firm’s Privacy & Data Security Practice. Digital Silence was then founded with a team of diverse backgrounds and a common goal in mind– to do security consulting right. Email: n•••••@digitalsilence.com
