About
Credentials and perspective
Danielle Koppel leads the Augusta chapter.
Beyond the resume
Both sides of the control.
Danielle is an information security engineer whose work spans GRC program operations, penetration testing, policy writing, and audit evidence management. That means she has spent time on both sides of the control: writing the requirement and proving it was met.
She started the Augusta chapter to bring that discipline to the CSRA, a region with plenty of cyber, defense, healthcare, and financial services work but no local room built specifically for it.
Danielle is a military spouse and lives in the Augusta area. She co-leads the chapter with Vice President Toyeeb Atanda.
