DFARS 252.204-7012 Compliance Services
Meet DoD Cybersecurity Mandates With Confidence
If your company handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as part of a Department of Defense (DoD) contract, compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012 is not optional—it’s a legal requirement. Failing to meet this clause could lead to loss of contracts, legal exposure, or suspension from the defense supply chain.
At FedComply Group LLC, we help DoD contractors and subcontractors fully implement DFARS 252.204-7012, prepare for audits, and remain eligible to do business with the federal government.
What Is DFARS 252.204-7012?
This clause—formally titled “Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting”—requires DoD contractors to:
Provide adequate security for covered defense information (CDI)
Implement all 110 security controls from NIST SP 800-171
Report cyber incidents to the DoD within 72 hours
Submit malicious software if discovered
Support incident investigations and damage assessments
DFARS 252.204-7012 is often referenced alongside CMMC 2.0, but it remains a standalone, enforceable clause in active contracts today.
Our DFARS Compliance Support Services
Whether you’re unsure of where to start or need help finalizing your documentation, we offer full-service support to ensure you meet every DFARS requirement.
Security Gap Analysis
We perform a comprehensive review of your current IT environment to identify gaps against the 110 required NIST 800-171 controls. This includes:
Access control and authentication
Media protection and data encryption
Incident response planning
Continuous monitoring strategies
System Security Plan (SSP) & POA&M Creation
We help develop or refine your System Security Plan and Plan of Action & Milestones—two critical documents required for compliance. If you’ve already submitted a Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score, we’ll verify it against your documentation.

The 72-hour reporting requirement is strict. We prepare your organization with:
Formal incident response plans
Clear reporting workflows
System logs and activity tracking tools
On-call guidance for real-time support when a breach occurs
