[comment u/BlueWorldBlueSky] the investigation is pending as to why accenture was outsourcing usa natsec to non usa operations.
“Shocker. When I was pen testing, there was an org that none of pen testers could get into or their pci data. We tested them quarterly. I was there for about 4 years before they outsourced to Accenture. After they did did the cut over to Accenture, we tested it and got everything on the first day. Every single time afterwards they were breached during out testing. The problem is Accenture off shore”

“Company I worked with outsourced a lot of work to Accenture and this is not surprising to me at all, the quality is pretty low-end overall (though there are some gems) and it's pretty hard keeping up with every alert we get from them now.”
