NSA is not a natural choice, since they are an active threat that has a history of abusing trust in their defensive mandate to insert vulnerabilities into systems in pursuit of their offensive mission.

Then you can decide for your org to not trust them and perhaps use a different certifier. i would welcome them offering such a service instead of having none.

Trust like this is transitive, so I would not trust any organization that placed such blind faith in the NSA.

I hope your brave new world includes a requirement for orgs to disclose their software auditor, so my org can avoid trusting orgs like yours.
