Level Legal Attorneys Daniel Bonner and Scott Nelson Achieve Recognition as Certified Information Privacy Professionals/United States

Jan 6, 2020


Daniel Bonner, Director of Client Solutions, and Scott Nelson, an attorney, both with Level Legal, have earned the ANSI-accredited Certified Information Privacy Professional/United States (CIPP/US) credentials through the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). CIPP/US privacy certification from IAPP is internationally recognized as a reputable, independent privacy and data protection program. Currently, only 8,000 professionals globally hold one or more certifications from IAPP.

For more than a decade, Daniel and Scott have been with Level Legal in various roles creating eDiscovery solutions in complex litigation matters and investigations. Daniel and Scott’s CIPP/US certifications will deepen Level Legal’s expertise in recommending comprehensive privacysolutions that also ensure stringent data and privacy protections, especially in light of the strict requirements of the GDPR and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). Beyond consulting with clients, Level Legal’s trusted team of attorneys also support clients’ privacy compliance efforts required by the GDPR and CCPA through its managed PIA review services and privacy program support.

“With this designation, Daniel and Scott have met the highest standards for information privacy professionals, demonstrating a broad understanding of privacy laws, program management, and data protection,” said Level Legal CEO Joey Seeber. “With the increasingly global nature of litigation and regulatory investigations, it’s important to our clients that we are well-equipped to efficiently navigate cross-jurisdictional privacy and security requirements.”

About the IAPP
The CIPP is the global standard in privacy certification. Developed and launched by the IAPP with leading subject matter experts, the CIPP is the world’s first broad-based global privacy and data protection credentialing program. The CIPP/US demonstrates a strong foundation in U.S. private-sector privacy laws and regulations and understanding of the legal requirements for the responsible transfer of sensitive personal data to/from the U.S., the EU, and other jurisdictions.

Our Framework

Understand.

During this phase, we work to step away from any assumptions and guesses about what our customers needs, and let our research findings inform our decision-making. We learn more about our customers, their problems, wants, and needs, and the environment or context in which they will use the solution we offer.

Our Framework

Define.

During the Define phase, we analyze our research findings from the Understand phase and determine what is the most important problem to solve — and why. This step defines the goal. Then we can give a clear problem statement, describing what our customers’ needs are that we are trying to solve, making sure that we heard and defined their problem correctly.

Our Framework

Solve.

This phase is an important part of the discipline in our process. People often settle for the first solution, but the most obvious solution is often not the right one. During the Solve phase, we brainstorm collaboratively with multiple stakeholders to generate many unique solutions. We then analyze our potential solutions and make choices about which are the best to pursue based on learnings in the Understand phase.

Our Framework

Build & Test.

This phase is critical in developing the right solution to our customers’ problem. An organized approach to testing can help avoid rework and create exceptional outcomes. Starting small and testing the solution, we iterate quickly, before deploying solutions across the entire project.

Our Framework

Act.

During this phase, the hard work of prior phases comes to life in our customers’ best solution. The research, collaboration, and testing performed prior to project kick-off ensure optimal results.

Our Framework

Feedback.

At the project completion, we convene all stakeholders to discuss what went well, what could have been better, and how we might improve going forward. We call these meetings “Retrospectives,” and we perform them internally as a project team, and with our external customers. The Retrospective is one of the most powerful, meaningful tools in our framework.
