Cybersecurity Compliance and Incident Response

The contract requires implementation and maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls across systems handling covered defense information, ensuring compliance with federal standards for protecting sensitive data. This includes establishing technical and administrative safeguards to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and system vulnerabilities. Continuous monitoring and regular assessments are expected to maintain adherence to the framework throughout the contract lifecycle. In addition to control implementation, the contract mandates prompt cyber incident reporting through the Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity and Incident Reporting Portal, known as DIBNET. All incidents must be reported in accordance with timelines and protocols established by the Department of Defense. Forensic data preservation is also a critical requirement, necessitating the secure collection, storage, and handling of evidence to support investigations and potential remediation efforts. The work is performed under a subcontract administered by the Defense Logistics Agency, with the North American Industry Classification System code 541512 indicating it falls under computer systems design services.
