Cybersecurity (March 12, 2020)

All Department of Defense (DoD) contractors and subcontractors that process, store or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must have met the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) minimum security standards or risk losing their DoD contracts. DFARS Safeguarding rules and clauses, for the basic safeguarding of contractor information systems that process, store or transmit Federal contract information.

DFARS provides a set of “basic” security controls for contractor information systems upon which this information resides. These security controls must be implemented at both levels based on the information security guidance in NIST Special Publication 800-171 “Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Non-Federal Information Systems and Organizations.” Come join us as we provide valuable assistance to manufacturers seeking reduction of their cyber risks and DFARS compliance.
