What Is DFARS and Why Does It Matter?

Introduces the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, which adds Department of Defense-specific rules on top of the FAR governing defense contracts.

Understanding Your Obligations Under DFARS

Explains key contractor duties under DFARS, including cybersecurity safeguards, cyber incident reporting, and clauses flowed down to subcontractors on defense work.

Why is this training important for workplaces?

Any company that does business with the US Department of Defense has to meet DFARS requirements, which set the rules for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information and reporting cyber incidents quickly. Get it wrong and a contractor risks failed audits, lost contracts, and the kind of data breach that hands sensitive defense information to the wrong people. When your team understands what DFARS asks of them, the organization keeps its contracts in good standing, protects the information it’s trusted with, and shows the government it takes those obligations seriously. This training gives employees the practical know-how to handle CUI correctly and flag problems before they turn into compliance failures.
