DFARS

DFARS 252.204-7012

Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement

DoD contract clause requiring adequate security for covered defense information and cyber incident reporting within 72 hours.

"Meeting DoD Contractual Security Requirements End-to-End"

Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for DFARS?

DFARS 7012 is a contractual obligation—not optional compliance. It requires adequate security per NIST 800-171, 72-hour cyber incident reporting to DoD, and preservation of forensic images for 90 days.

1. Adequate Security Implementation

We implement the “adequate security” standard referenced in DFARS—full NIST 800-171 compliance across all systems processing, storing, or transmitting Covered Defense Information (CDI).

2. 72-Hour Incident Reporting

Our 24/7 SOC ensures cyber incidents affecting CDI are detected, assessed, and reported to the DoD Cyber Crime Center (DC3) within the 72-hour requirement, with all necessary technical details.

3. Forensic Image Preservation

We maintain forensic images of affected systems for 90 days following an incident, preserving evidence chain-of-custody for potential DoD investigation.

4. Flow-Down Management

DFARS requires flow-down of security requirements to subcontractors. We help you assess and monitor subcontractor compliance, ensuring your supply chain doesn’t become your weakest link.
