Harvey Nusz

November Member of the Month

Harvey Nusz is a native Texan who began his IT career in Houston before discovering his passion for business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) while working as an IT Auditor in Illinois. After attending his first BC/DR seminar in New York, he supported the creation of a backup data center for his company, which was a defining moment that shaped his career in resilience and continuity.

Harvey first joined ACP for a year several years ago and rejoined in 2023. His decision was driven by a deep respect for ACP’s mission to build a professional community dedicated to business continuity, resilience, and now cybersecurity. What compelled him to join initially, and to return later, was ACP’s genuine spirit of collaboration and shared learning. He currently serves on the ACP Greater Houston Chapter Board and participates in the Cybersecurity Special Interest Group (SIG), helping shape discussions around secure compliance, AI governance, and cyber resilience.

Beyond ACP, Harvey has held leadership roles with ISACA, including launching a popular “Privacy Saturday Morning” virtual series, and serves on the Greater Washington DC Chapter Program Committee and ISSA Cyber Executive Forum Planning Committee.

In his free time, Harvey values faith, family, and mentoring, while staying engaged in emerging areas like privacy, GRC, and AI advancements. Harvey says one of his most memorable career moments was standing in the Mir Space Station control room during a NASA security project in Moscow, which is an experience that continues to inspire his passion for learning and exploration.
