As DOD continues to expand its supply chain cybersecurity demands on federal contractors, McCarter & English Government Contracts and Export Controls co-leaders Alex Major and Franklin Turner provide critical guidance for federal contractors in a two-part Feature Comment for Thomson Reuters’ The Government Contractor. In the comprehensive article they address not only the recent and planned updates to NIST publications, but also weigh those efforts against Defense Contract Management Agency’s (DCMA) auditing efforts, the revised Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR) Guidebook, and the new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. Information on how these efforts align along with practical guidance for weathering these changes can be found at Part 1 accessible here and Part 2 accessible here.
