Manufacturers that process, store, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as part of Department of Defense (DoD) contracts are required to comply with cybersecurity provisions under the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), including safeguarding requirements and cyber-incident reporting obligations.
At the core of these requirements is NIST SP 800-171, which outlines the security controls needed to protect CUI within non-federal information systems.
Noncompliance can put contracts — and future opportunities — at risk. Our team helps manufacturers understand what’s required, where gaps exist, and how to build a realistic, compliant path forward.
