I met Nick and the IT Support RI team in 2011. I was in need of some IT organization and it was not something I could easily do alone. Nick and his techs came to my office and documented all the system specifications for each PC. They also numbered each computer and created a network map to correspond to my building layout and where every machine is located.

As time went on, I began to use IT Support RI for more and more IT projects like creating backup solutions for my machinery, new workstations and servers, and recently, a long range wireless link between two of my buildings. They are familiar with my Amada setup and working with our Mietrak systems. I would recommend IT Support RI to any business in need of quality and personal IT support.

DFARS compliance requires ongoing attention and due diligence in cyber security.

What Is DFARS Compliance?

What is DFARS?
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, or DFARS, is a supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). DFARS provides Department of Defense (DoD) specific acquisition regulations that officials and contractors doing business with  DoD must follow in the procurement process for goods and services.

A recent DFARS clause regarding Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting, focuses on covered defense information (CDI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI).

DFARS states that DoD contractors must:

  1. Protect DoD information using NIST 800-171
  2. Report any and all cyber security incidents to DoD

All Defense contractors and subcontractors that process, store, or transmit covered defense information must be DFARS compliant.

NIST 800-171
NIST SP 800-171 is a Special Publication, focusing on Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations. This list of security controls must be satisfied, and includes things like access control, incident response, awareness training, and auditing.

NIST SP 800-171 is a new rule recently published by the US Department of Defense (DoD), that requires federal government contractors to apply 15 basic cyber security safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect their information systems.

Government agencies house a lot of sensitive information. If you work with the US Government, that means you may have some of this sensitive information in your network. Government contractors house a lot of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) without realizing it.

Consequences of Being Non-compliant
Failure to be compliant with DFARS and the DoD, will result in a breach of contract. Both your data and your business will be at risk. You will be subject to criminal, civil, administrative, and contractual actions in law and equity for penalties, damages, and other appropriate remedies by the United States.

It will also leave you open to civil actions for damages and other appropriate remedies by any third parties that report a cyber incident.
