What is DFARS 252.204-7025?
DFARS 252.204-7025 is a mandatory clause for Department of Defense contractors that outlines cybersecurity requirements to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Key Compliance Requirements
- NIST SP 800-171 implementation: Contractors must implement the outlined security controls to safeguard CUI.
- System Security Plan (SSP): Document how your organization meets these controls.
- Incident Reporting: Report cybersecurity incidents to the DoD within 72 hours.
- Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS): Submit and maintain your SSP and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) here.
Why Compliance Matters for Small and Mid-Size Contractors
Complying with DFARS 252.204-7025 is critical to maintaining your eligibility for DoD contracts. Many small and mid-sized contractors face challenges meeting these requirements due to limited resources or expertise, but failure to comply risks contract termination or disqualification.
The Urgency: Why Act Now
The DoD is ramping up enforcement and making SPRS data a key factor in contract awards. Delaying compliance increases exposure to penalties and lost business opportunities.
