Are you aware the next six months could severely impact your ability to secure and execute Department of Defense(DoD) contracts?
Are you aware that your company and sub-contractors must be in compliance with DFARS/NIST 800-171 by January 1, 2018?
This is because the DOD CIO has mandated that all companies and their sub-contractors doing business with the Department of Defense must be in compliance with DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) 252.204-7012/NIST 800-171.
What is DFARS clause 252.204-7012? It is the federal regulation stating that all companies processing, storing, transmitting DoD information must have the necessary security controls implemented to protect the confidentiality of Covered Defense Information (CDI). DFARS addresses the assurance of adequate security, cyber incident reporting, and subcontracts. Beginning, January 1, 2018, companies will be required to show compliance as a pre-qualification to win DoD contracts and can face breach of contract litigation if they are not in compliance. DFARS compliance is retroactive meaning companies who already hold DoD must show compliance by February 1, 2018.
