ES reflects on the overall security posture of NSWCDD and a lack of attention to detail with regard to the handling of classified information of IS security discipline and will be reflected in the contractor's performance rating. In the event that a contractor is determined to be responsible for an ES, all direct and indirect costs incurred by the Government for ES remediation will be charged to the contractor.
