Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

On August 9, 2010, SteelCloud, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP. The decision to dismiss Grant Thornton LLP was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Grant Thornton LLP’s reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008 included language expressing substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Except for the foregoing, Grant Thornton LLP’s reports did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they otherwise qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008 and through August 9, 2010, there were no disagreements between the Company and Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Grant Thornton LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton LLP to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided Grant Thornton LLP with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of Grant Thornton LLP’s letter, dated August 13, 2010, stating its agreement with the above statements is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

On August 9, 2010, the Company engaged Aronson & Company to serve as its new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010. During the Company’s fiscal years ended October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008 and through August 09, 2010, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Aronson & Company with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as defined in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K.
