The DFARS 252.204-7012 requires contractors who are provided or generate Controlled Unclassified Information for the DoD to implement the cybersecurity standard NIST SP 800-171. The DoD IG has several reports about how this implementation is going. Let’s talk about NIST SP 800-171. Let’s learn where contractors start with the standard, how it fits with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and questions the contracting team can ask to know if contract cybersecurity is on-track and protecting DoD data.

This is a series of webinars to bring the Acquisition Workforce up-to-speed on all the cybersecurity requirements in federal contracts and how to evaluate those contractual requirements. In the DoD alone, there are some 120K small business contractors and 70% of those contractors have less than 30 employees. This webinar series will educate contracting communities, project managers, and contractors on the resources available to create robust cybersecurity.
