Cyber Incident Reporting & Data Security Compliance

The contract mandates the implementation and ongoing maintenance of cybersecurity controls to safeguard covered defense information in accordance with DFARS 252.204-7012, requiring strict adherence to NIST SP 800-171 standards for protecting sensitive data. This includes establishing technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of information, as well as ensuring continuous monitoring and updating of defenses against evolving cyber threats. The contractor is also obligated to report any cyber incidents involving covered defense information to the Department of Defense within 72 hours of discovery, and to preserve and protect all forensic data and evidence related to such incidents for a minimum of five years to support investigative and compliance activities. As a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency with a NAICS code of 541512, this agreement falls under the broader Department of Defense cybersecurity compliance framework and requires the subcontractor to align its security practices with federal mandates governing the handling of sensitive defense information. The contract’s performance obligations extend across all systems and environments where covered defense information is processed, stored, or transmitted, and failure to meet these requirements may result in contract termination, financial penalties, or loss of eligibility for future DoD work. The contract is active as of July 16, 2026, and all compliance measures must be in place prior to any handling of protected data.
