The Defense Acquisition Federal Regulation Supplement 252.204-7012 (DFARS) mandates that DoD contractors adopt cybersecurity standards that follow the NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity framework. This is the government’s effort to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within the U.S. defense supply chain. And the CMMC gives the DOD a mechanism to certify the cyber readiness of defense contractors, as well as their subcontractors.

Join us to learn what steps your firm should take to ensure you are cyber-ready when doing business in the federal marketplace.
