What You Need to Know About DFARS
As cyber technology continues to expand and evolve, addressing security threats has become an ever-increasing priority for the federal government. Enforcement of “Controlled Unclassified Information” (CUI) protection continues to intensify as private government contractors and other non-federal organizations are continually required to update their security procedures.
In December 2015, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) published a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations) supplement referred to as the Defense Acquisition Federal Regulation Supplement (DFARS). The DFARS is intended to maintain cybersecurity standards according to requirements laid out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
These standards were constructed to protect the confidentiality of CUI and gives DoD contractors until December 31, 2017 to meet the requirements necessary to be classified as DFARS compliant. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the loss of current contracts.
DFARS Compliance Requirements
DFARS details fourteen groups of security requirements, which affect numerous aspects of IT information security. In order to be considered DFARS compliant, non-federal and contractor information systems/organizations must pass a readiness assessment following NIST SP800-171 guidelines.
The summary of guidelines include:
- Access Control
- Awareness and Training
- Audit and Accountability
- Configuration Management
- Identification and Authentication
- Incident Response
- Maintenance
