DFARS 252.204-7012 is a Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clause that deals with safeguarding covered defense information and cyber incident reporting. Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of this clause in bullet points: - Purpose and Scope:   - It aims to protect covered defense information that resides in or transits through contractor and subcontractor systems.  - It applies to all forms of contracts with the Department of Defense (DoD) including subcontractors where covered defense information is handled. - Definition of Covered Defense Information:  - This includes unclassified controlled technical information or other information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls pursuant to and consistent with law, regulations, and government-wide policies. - Cybersecurity Requirements:   - Contractors are required to provide adequate security on all covered contractor information systems.   - Specifically, contractors must implement the security requirements specified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-171. - Cyber Incident Reporting:   - Contractors must report any cyber incidents that affect covered defense information or the contractor’s ability to perform tasks critical to the fulfillment of a DoD program.   - Reports must be submitted within 72 hours of discovery to the DoD Cyber Crime Center (DC3). - Media Preservation and Protection:   - Following a cyber incident, the contractor must preserve and protect images of all known affected information systems and all relevant monitoring/packet capture data for at least 90 days. - Flow Down Requirement:   - The clause mandates that the requirements must be flowed down to all subcontractors that are involved in handling covered defense information. - Access to Information:   - To assess compliance with the safeguards, DoD and other authorized government operations may audit, inspect, or examine contractor and subcontractor facilities and activities. - Cloud Computing Services:   - If a contractor intends to use cloud computing services to store, process, or transmit covered defense information, they must ensure that the cloud service meets security requirements equivalent to those established by the government for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate baseline. - Training Requirements:   - Contractors must conduct awareness training for all employees to enhance protection for covered defense information and to ensure proper actions in the event of a cyber incident. This clause is a critical part of the DoD's effort to strengthen cybersecurity practices across its supply chain, reflecting the growing importance of cybersecurity in national security.
