Make DFARS Requirements Easier to Navigate
Organizations working with the Department of Defense need to understand how DFARS requirements affect the way Controlled Unclassified Information is handled and protected. That means looking beyond individual security tools and considering access controls, authentication, incident response, employee training, vulnerability management, and other areas across the organization.
This guide breaks down DFARS and its relationship to NIST 800-171, explains key cybersecurity requirements, and provides practical tips and checklists to help identify areas that may need attention.
This guide walks through those considerations to help DoD contractors and subcontractors better understand the path toward CMMC compliance and audit preparation.
Get a clearer understanding of DFARS, CUI, and NIST 800-171, including the cybersecurity areas contractors need to consider and how DFARS connects with CMMC.
You’ll also get practical guidance on security and risk assessments, IT and physical safeguards, access controls, cybersecurity awareness training, incident response planning, and gap analysis.
