Cybersecurity and CUI Compliance Support

The contract supports ongoing cybersecurity efforts to implement and maintain NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 controls for the protection of controlled unclassified information within the Department of Defense environment. This includes continuous monitoring, configuration management, access controls, and other required security measures to ensure compliance with federal standards for handling sensitive but unclassified data. The contractor is responsible for sustaining these controls through regular assessments, remediation of gaps, and documentation readiness for audits and compliance reviews. In addition to control implementation, the contract mandates timely incident reporting to DIBNet in accordance with DoD protocols, ensuring rapid notification and coordination in the event of a cybersecurity breach or anomaly. Critical to the contract is the requirement to retain forensic data for a minimum of 90 days following any incident to facilitate thorough investigation and evidence preservation. The work is performed under a subcontract awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency, aligned with NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services, and is part of broader efforts to strengthen the defense industrial base’s cybersecurity posture.
