Assuming I'm understanding the article correctly, this seems to be about federal agencies being tasked with increasing the security of their own networks, not private companies being regulated. I don't think federal agencies tend to make a profit, and they're usually the ones making the regulations, not gaming them.

Government agencies regularly game regulations that apply to them in the same way as corporations. See e.g. FOIA, Fourth Amendment, qualified immunity, civil asset forfeiture.
