Cybersecurity Compliance and Incident Reporting

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls across systems that process, store, or transmit covered defense information, ensuring compliance with federal cybersecurity standards for protected data. This includes continuous monitoring and enforcement of access controls, audit logging, configuration management, and other required safeguards to protect the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive military data. All systems must be configured to support immediate detection and reporting of cyber incidents through the Department of Defense Cyber Incident Reporting for Defense Industrial Base Network, with a mandatory 72-hour deadline for submitting incident reports to ensure timely response and coordination across the defense supply chain. Additionally, the contract mandates adherence to NIST SP 800-88 guidelines for media sanitization, requiring secure and verifiable methods to erase or destroy digital media containing covered defense information upon disposal, reuse, or transfer. This ensures no residual data can be recovered, protecting against data leakage. The work is performed as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, classified under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services, and requires strict operational discipline to meet federal compliance timelines and reporting obligations without exception.
