We recommend DOD contractors/subs follow a 3-phased approach to prepare for DFARS Compliance
Phase 1: Assessment
Begin by identifying and classifying all Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within your systems, categorizing data based on sensitivity levels and ensuring proper handling based on DFARS requirements.
Conduct a thorough gap analysis of your current security controls against the NIST Special Publication 800-171 standards, identifying areas where existing measures fall short and devising strategies to address vulnerabilities and enhance security posture.
Perform comprehensive risk assessments to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to CUI, prioritize risks based on impact and likelihood, and develop mitigation plans to address and mitigate identified risks effectively in line with DFARS compliance objectives.
Phase 2: Remediation
Deploy role-based access controls (RBAC) and least privilege principles to restrict access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), ensuring that only authorized personnel can retrieve, modify, or transmit sensitive data in compliance with DFARS regulations.
Implement robust encryption mechanisms for data storage and transmission, adhering to NIST standards, to safeguard CUI from unauthorized access or interception, ensuring that data remains protected even if devices are compromised.
Develop and document detailed incident response protocols outlining procedures for detecting, responding to, and recovering from security incidents involving CUI.
Phase 3: Documentation
Develop comprehensive documentation outlining detailed data handling policies and procedures, including data classification, access controls, encryption standards, and retention guidelines, aligning with DFARS requirements and best practices.
Keep meticulous records of all security assessments, compliance activities, and incident response procedures conducted to demonstrate adherence to DFARS regulations, ensuring transparency and accountability in data security practices.
