First, servers generally run on operating systems. No one with any serious knowledge would use the phrase run on software. Second, does this guy have any actual tech knowledge at all? He doesn't list what operating system they are running or what security updates he is expecting. It doesn't sound great but I assure you I've probably seen worse on systems used by the literal federal government to conduct official business and store sensitive information on. All government cares about is having remediation plans in place.
