DFARS
Simple DFARS compliance consulting services for businesses of all sizes
Any contractor that works with controlled unclassified information and/or technologies covered by International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is subject to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) minimum security standards, under the control of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). DFARS IT requirements set out how an organization controls its security. As a defense contractor, you must abide by the DFARS compliance checklist of cybersecurity requirements to obtain Department of Defense (DoD) contracts.
Outsourcing DFARS IT Requirements
Working with a DFARS IT expert like US IT Services will put your mind at ease and ensure that you can continue bidding on and being chosen for DoD contracts. We start with a security audit of your network looking for threats and vulnerabilities to judge how close your organization is to meeting compliance, and identify the shortcomings preventing you from full DFARS compliance and NIST certification. We then remediate any issues revealed by the audit to get your organization compliant and certified, and provide the necessary documentation for proof.
DFARS compliance is an ongoing issue — any new programs, processes, staff, or data must be assessed and monitored to ensure they don’t jeopardize your organization’s compliance. US IT Services will set up a routine maintenance and monitoring plan as part of our DFARS offerings so that you can continue to win contracts as your organization grows.
