Gibbs is the current &#8220;Account Executive for Engagement&#8221; 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&#8217;d suggest you verify with NeoSystems, but the company is now a smoking crater in the hellscape that comprises the CMMC ecosystem.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34416\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34416\" class=\"wp-image-34416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/community-chaos.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-34416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">NeoSystems annual meeting.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Over on <del>Katie Arrington&#8217;s Family Photos Website<\/del> LinkedIn, I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/oxebridge_cmmc-c3pao-cyberab-share-7491278073389117440-BvxI\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAAAQymeABcfCwSHlVEUUPE8chOK-_MieQjQQ\">posted<\/a> a short bit about how it&#8217;s a little curious that the <em><strong>only<\/strong> <\/em>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 &#8220;<em>retirement<\/em>&#8221; (someone please confirm she was <em><strong>pushed<\/strong> <\/em>out, as we all suspect).\u00a0 This totally coincidental move gives Bostjanick&#8217;s C3PAO, Cybersec Investments, a huge advantage over the other 100+ assessment bodies out there.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs thought it would be a good idea to ignore the Summit7 internal memo that says &#8220;never engage with Chris Paris, and ask, &#8220;<em>why are you so combative and angry all the time?<\/em>&#8221; 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:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>FRAUD<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Not deterred, she kept at it until I warned her what dumpster fire she was exactly starting.\u00a0Immediately thereafter, she deleted her comments and blocked me, no doubt having checked who I was with Summit7&#8217;s gang of angry crayon-eaters, Scott Edwards, Jason Sproesser, and Jacob Horne.<\/p>\n<p>Poor Gibbs.
