Listen "What is DFARS 7012?"
Episode Synopsis
Most people mistaken believe that their cybersecurity requirements stem from the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Program (CMMC). CMMC is simply a verification program that proves if you have implemented the requirements imposed by DFARS clause 252.204-7012. Ultimately, DFARS clause 252.204-7012 is the center of gravity for all the cybersecurity stuff that comes with being a defense contractor. This week is an important primer on DFARS 7012 because even though it's only 13 paragraphs long, few people take the time to read it closely.
