Salmon Pokes Bear: Summit7 / NeoSystems VP Step In it, Quickly Has Regrets

You have to hand it to the Summit7 gang; they are really handling this temporary CMMC pause with grace. Oh, wait, that’s in a different timeline. We live in the one where they are freaking out like meth-addled trash bandits being chased by ghost gremlins with tasers.

Now meet someone I never heard of, because they are entirely irrelevant: Kathy Gibbs. Gibbs is the current “Account Executive for Engagement” at Summit7, which, yes, sounds like a wedding planner for Fortune 500 divorced dads. But she formerly held a role as a VP at NeoSystems, that plucky set of scammers who apparently broke every law known to Man and God while Katie Arrington and the Cyber AB were shilling for them. I’d suggest you verify with NeoSystems, but the company is now a smoking crater in the hellscape that comprises the CMMC ecosystem.

Over on Katie Arrington’s Family Photos Website LinkedIn, I posted a short bit about how it’s a little curious that the only C3PAO to have achieved full accreditation to ISO 17020 by the Cyber AB happens to be the one which hired CMMC architect Stacy Bostjanick just hours after her “retirement” (someone please confirm she was pushed out, as we all suspect).  This totally coincidental move gives Bostjanick’s C3PAO, Cybersec Investments, a huge advantage over the other 100+ assessment bodies out there.

Gibbs thought it would be a good idea to ignore the Summit7 internal memo that says “never engage with Chris Paris, and ask, “why are you so combative and angry all the time?” Resisting the urge to tell her to eat my goddamned shoes, I instead reminded her of a word she had probably never heard of while working at her former employer, NeoSystems:

FRAUD.

Not deterred, she kept at it until I warned her what dumpster fire she was exactly starting. Immediately thereafter, she deleted her comments and blocked me, no doubt having checked who I was with Summit7’s gang of angry crayon-eaters, Scott Edwards, Jason Sproesser, and Jacob Horne.

Poor Gibbs. She doesn’t know that about fifteen minutes after I hit “publish” here from my secret volcano lair, a host of NeoSystems’ ex-employees are going to email me all sorts of dirt about her. If she had any role in the NeoSystems disaster — which makes the destruction of Krypton look like an episode of Paw Patrol — I am about to find out about it. Insiders, you know what to do.

Now, another Summit7’er is pinging my profile with views: Joanie Johnson, who previously worked at another dumpster fire, Cask Government Services. They just don’t learn.

Stop giving me stuff to report on!

Some other hot takes from CMMCWorld:

First, the jazz bassist who did not get ISO 17011 for The Cyber AB (they had to bring Steve Medellin in to do what Dalton was supposed to) is now an “Emeritus.” You stay classy, San Diego.

Then, Stacy Bostjanick posted a totally unverified claim that some random “ethics lawyers” approved her immedciate hire to Cybersec, and solely to allow her to continue the CMMC mission… but five minutes later she yanked the post, presumately when some non-fantasy lawyers told her she might not want to make this claim:

Unfortunately, I then confirmed that during a call, Cybersec CEO Fernando Machado had previously, and explictly, told customers that Bostjanick was hired “to stand up a new division” (related to CMMC)… not to “move the program forward.” If the really wanted to do that, she wouldn’t have been walked out by security with her shit in a box retired.

Finally, I made this short video to adress a series of outright lies spurted by Cyber AB’s Matt Travis and Steve Medellin abou their problems with ISO 17011 and secretly outsourcing this to ANAB.
