Subcontractor Cyber Incident Response and Forensic ReadinessThe subcontractor is required to maintain forensic readiness for all systems that handle covered defense information, ensuring that technical and procedural controls are in place to support potential cybersecurity investigations. This includes retaining system logs for an appropriate duration, preserving digital media in a forensically sound manner, and implementing protocols that enable timely and compliant access by government forensic teams. The subcontractor must coordinate closely with the prime contractor to facilitate seamless government requests for forensic data and system access during incident response scenarios, ensuring no delays or gaps in evidence collection or chain of custody. Failure to uphold these requirements could compromise the integrity of national defense-related investigations and violate federal compliance obligations. All activities must align with applicable Department of Defense standards and be conducted with strict attention to data integrity, confidentiality, and auditability. The subcontractor is expected to be prepared at all times for forensic examination, with documented processes and trained personnel ready to support government-mandated response efforts without prior notice or extended lead time. This obligation is critical to sustaining the security posture of the defense supply chain and supporting the broader mission of the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense.
