Subcontractor Cybersecurity Flow-Down Management

All subcontractors must adhere to DFARS cybersecurity requirements through the implementation of flow-down clauses that propagate necessary security standards from the prime contract. The contractor is responsible for monitoring ongoing compliance across the supply chain, ensuring that every subcontractor meets the mandated safeguards for handling controlled unclassified information. Coordination with the prime contractor and the Contracting Officer’s Representative is required to verify adherence, address gaps, and maintain audit readiness throughout the performance period. This obligation applies to all subcontracting activities under the subcontract titled Subcontractor Cybersecurity Flow-Down Management, which falls under NAICS code 541611 and is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency within the Department of Defense.
