FFIEC guidelines on vendor management do not have the force of law. They are only guidelines. You & I both know that. Also, if you have been evolved with the DOD procurement cycle, mission essential needs trumps everything else! The DOD fully realizes the seriousness of the chink in its COMSEC armor with mobile devices broadcasting in the clear. They will bypass "guidelines" and get the best solution to this problem before a COMSEC problem becomes an OPSEC one with potential mission failure. The DOD has a history of choosing what they think works the best when lives are on the line regardless of "guidelines". This sometimes has meant dealing with a small business that fills an unmet need. In accordance with SBA initiated legislation in 2015 the DOD must, by law, consider small business for a slice of the DOD budget pie.
