"This week Federal News Radio reported that HPE is doing such a poor job that NASA's chief information officer, Renee Wynn, could no longer accept the security risks associated with the contract. Wynn, therefore, did not sign off on the authority to operate (ATO) for systems and tools."
Makes sense. Many of the people managing the NASA account were failed NMCI/CoSC retreads.
If they brought in the consulting types, those that bounce between customers and projects, I believe it. Those folks don't think things through very well. Might be same story if it was leveraged folks. If it was steady state assigned folks, this would be an utter leadership failure. What a shame.
Too bad HPE's lawyers and lobbyists will probably get them out of any consequence that comes from this.
