Cybersecurity Compliance and Incident Reporting Support

This contract requires comprehensive support for achieving and maintaining compliance with NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 standards, specifically for subcontractors handling covered defense information. The scope includes conducting thorough system assessments to identify gaps in cybersecurity controls, developing and implementing necessary policies and procedures aligned with NIST requirements, and ensuring continuous adherence through documentation and monitoring. A critical component of the contract mandates timely cyber incident reporting through the Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity and Incident Reporting (DIBNet) portal, with all incidents required to be reported within 72 hours of discovery. The contract is structured as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, and is governed under the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. Compliance is mandatory for any subcontractor entrusted with sensitive defense data, and failure to meet these obligations may result in contract termination or loss of eligibility for future work. The performance of all required activities must align with federal cybersecurity frameworks and be fully documented to support audit readiness and contractual accountability.
