Having a clear grasp of DFARS regulations is the first step to prepare for CMMC certification changes.
Did you know it’s estimated that the typical DoD contractor is only 60% compliant with the cybersecurity requirements that are outlined in DFARS?
DFARS, or the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, was established to help ensure that DoD contractors are implementing effective controls to safeguard sensitive controlled unclassified information (CUI).
This year, as the DoD continues to roll out the new the Cyber Mature Model Certification (CMMC), it’s even more important that your company has a firm grasp of DFARS requirements. To succeed with CMMC third-party certification, you must build on a solid foundation of DFARS compliance. To get started, you’ll need to grasp the 14 key areas required by the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-171 (NIST SP 800-171), a set of security protocols that contractors must adhere to in order to be DFARS compliant.
This is where we come in.
