"From March 2020 to November 2021, Danielle Hillmer allegedly obstructed federal auditors and falsely represented that an Accenture cloud platform for federal use had required security controls in place, according to indictment documents. The documents do not name specific companies she was employed at, but a scan of what appears to be her LinkedIn profile shows she managed cloud services products at Accenture's federal consulting arm at the same time the alleged activity took place."
"Accenture said in a 2023 financial filing that the Justice Department was investigating "whether one or more employees provided inaccurate submissions to an assessor who was evaluating on behalf of the U.S. government an AFS (Accenture Federal Services) service offering and whether the service offering fully implemented required federal security controls." "As previously disclosed in our public filings, we proactively brought this matter to the government's attention following an internal review."
Danielle Hillmer is charged by the Justice Department with obstructing federal auditors and falsely representing that an Accenture Federal Services cloud platform had required security controls between March 2020 and November 2021. Indictment documents allege she misled auditors; corporate filings and a LinkedIn profile indicate she managed cloud services products at Accenture's federal arm and later worked at SentinelOne. A SentinelOne spokesperson said she had not been employed there for some time and that the indictment's actions are unrelated to her SentinelOne employment. Accenture disclosed a government investigation in a 2023 filing, said it proactively reported the matter after an internal review, and cooperated with investigators.
