Two More False Claims Act Settlements – With a Twist
Rumor has it that the government is working on a hundred of these cases or more, so if you think security requirements are going away, that does not appear to be true.
In one of the settlements, the company turned themselves in and the government fined their investor as well as them. The fine was smaller than in the second case, which was a case of a company selling software with vulnerabilities and didn’t have an adequate security program.
The first one was a defense contractor, but the second one was not, so if you sell into the government space, you need to pay attention to security. If you need assistance, contact us.
