Uncle Sam sues ex-Accenture manager over Army cloud security claims

U.S. prosecutors allege that Danielle Hillmer, a former Accenture senior manager, deceived federal auditors by overstating the NIFMS cloud platform’s security—claiming FedRAMP High and DoD IL4/IL5 compliance despite known gaps in access control, incident response, and continuous monitoring—while pursuing authorizations tied to Army contracts from 2020–2021; Accenture says it self-reported the issue and is cooperating with the government’s investigation.
