Cybersecurity Compliance & Incident Reporting

The contract requires comprehensive cybersecurity support to ensure subcontractors handling covered defense information meet NIST SP 800-171 compliance standards as mandated by DFARS regulations. This includes implementing and maintaining the required security controls, conducting regular assessments, and providing ongoing guidance to subcontractors to sustain compliance throughout the lifecycle of their work. The scope also extends to cyber incident response and reporting, ensuring any breaches or suspicious activities are promptly identified, contained, reported, and remediated in alignment with federal and defense-specific protocols. Support services must be tailored to the operational environment of subcontractors, enabling them to meet stringent defense cybersecurity requirements without disrupting mission-critical functions. Reporting mechanisms must be robust and timely, facilitating accurate and standardized disclosures to government authorities as required. The contract is issued under the Defense Logistics Agency as part of the Department of Defense’s broader effort to strengthen the security posture of its indirect supply chain, with performance expected to align with the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. All activities must be conducted in accordance with federal cybersecurity frameworks and under the oversight of the DOD’s procurement and compliance structures.
