This is session 4 of 4 in the FPS Introduction to Cybersecurity Series.

In this session, we will identify how to ensure that good cybersecurity hygiene flows through a contractor’s supply chain and is reported to the Government. We will discuss the Defense Contract Management Agency’s (DCMA) mandate to examine contractor compliance with cybersecurity requirements as part of its Contractor Purchasing System Reviews (CPSR), the Supplier Performance Risk Systems (SPRS), and its implications for contractors in the near future. At the end of the session, we will take a step back and examine where contractors are on the cybersecurity continuum, and where they are headed as the programs we have discussed over the course of the series continue to develop.

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, students will be prepared for the future of cybersecurity requirements. They will understand how to ensure cybersecurity hygiene in their supply chain, and be prepared to proactively address their purchasing procedures in anticipation of DCMA reviews. Students will also understand the limitations of cybersecurity requirements as they exist today, and will gain insight as to the likely next developments in and implications of Federal cybersecurity initiatives.
