Incident Reporting Guidance
Comply with Confidence. Report with Precision.
Cybersecurity incidents aren’t just technical disruptions—they’re compliance obligations under the U.S. Department of Defense contracting standards. If your organization handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you’re required to report qualifying cyber incidents within 72 hours under DFARS 252.204-7012.
At FedComply Group LLC, we guide DoD contractors and subcontractors through every step of the incident reporting process. We help ensure your reports are accurate, timely, and fully compliant with federal expectations.
Why Proper Incident Reporting Matters
Failure to report an incident—or reporting it incorrectly—can lead to:
Loss of DoD contracts
SPRS score penalties
Noncompliance with DFARS and NIST requirements
Legal consequences for false or incomplete disclosures
If your organization experiences a breach, unauthorized access, malware event, or suspicious activity that could impact CUI, you’re likely obligated to file a report with the DoD’s DIBNet portal. But most companies aren’t sure where to start—or what counts as reportable.
That’s where we come in.
What We Help You Do
Our team ensures that your incident reporting process is DFARS-compliant and defensible.
1. Determine If You Need to Report
Not every event is a reportable incident. We help you assess the nature of the issue and confirm whether it triggers a DFARS 7012 reporting requirement.
2. Prepare Accurate, Complete Submissions
If reporting is required, we assist with gathering and organizing key information, including:
Affected systems and CUI details
Attack vectors or vulnerabilities exploited
Dates/times of detection and response
Any ongoing threat or impact
Mitigation efforts in progress
3. File with Confidence via DIBNet
We walk you through creating or updating your DoD account and submitting the report to DIBNet. We also help you prepare follow-up documentation if requested by the DoD or your prime contractor.
4. Post-Incident Action
Once the report is submitted, we support you in creating or updating your Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) to address the root causes and prevent recurrence. We can also review your System Security Plan (SSP) to ensure it reflects your current controls.
Who This Is For
This service is ideal for:
Subcontractors unfamiliar with DIBNet procedures
Contractors without in-house compliance or cybersecurity staff
Companies facing DoD audit or renewal deadlines
Organizations unsure whether their incident qualifies for reporting
Don't Wait Until It's Too Late
Time is critical. If you suspect a cyber incident may impact your DoD obligations, act fast—and act with clarity. Let us help you report the right way, the first time.
