The requirements are fairly vague but reference documents that do dig into the technical components that are necessary to comply with their two main requirements:
- Must provide “adequate” security to include protective measures for the loss, misuse, unauthorized access to, or modification of information on unclassified information systems.
- Must rapidly report incidents and cooperate with DoD to respond to any security incidents.
Nomotion has produced and is in the process of vetting the process to ensure organizations needing to comply with these requirements do so, in an effective and efficient manner.
If you are interested in digging into the details of the cybersecurity standards referred to by the DFAR, they are described in further detail here DFAR 204.73, here NIST Special Publication 800-171 (fourteen areas to be secured minimally) and here NIST Special Publication 800-53.
Deadline to Get Compliant: December 31, 2017
You still have time, but don’t let linger as organizations with remote branches, and contracts with multiple agencies must be approved by each agency.
