The grades are accurate based on my six years of direct IT experience with DOD, DOE, GISRA, FISMA, DITSCAP, NIST, etc. If agencies would spend more time implementing instead of resisting, complaining and turning a molehill of paperwork into an imaginary mountain, the grades would improve. Money and resources are a big issue. Another problem is a federal workforce that is old and set in its ways. IT Security is a new and challenging field that many of them don't want to tackle. Bruce Brody has been a IT security leader associated with two of the agencies that received an "F." Coincidence that he's blaming a flawed law. Convenient.
