Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) issued the following statement in response to an article that appeared in today’s Washington Post.
“Unisys vigorously disputes the allegations made in today’s article. Facts and documentation contradict the claims described in the article, but federal security regulations preclude public comment on specific incidents.
“We can state generally that the allegation that Unisys did not properly install essential security systems is incorrect. In addition, we routinely follow prescribed security protocols and have properly reported incidents to the customer in accordance with those protocols.
“We are proud of our work and believe it has significantly strengthened the integrity and performance of the agency’s information infrastructure in the difficult years following September 11, 2001.
“Since Unisys began providing services for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2003, the company has worked closely with security personnel from DHS to develop strong, effective security systems and processes that conform to the requirements of this department. Unisys has provided DHS with government-certified and accredited security programs and systems, which were in place throughout the period in question in 2006 and remain so today.
“We believe that a proper investigation of this matter will conclude that Unisys acted in good faith to meet the customer’s security requirements.”
