Regardless of the reason for hiring these individuals,
this fact should be noted by any organization subject
to legal or regulatory compliance with regards to
computer/information security.  While the laws in the
US do not specifically stipulate that reputable firms
must be used when seeking compliance with vuln/risk
assessments, etc., one would hope that the
professional reputation of the assessing firm would be
considered, as well.
