Compliance Assessment for a U.S. Defense Contractor

SITUATION

The Client conducts defense contracting and needed to ensure it was compliant with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) within its relevant business units. We were engaged to conduct a full review of their network infrastructure to assess, plan for, and assist in the implementation of solutions to ensure DFARS and ITAR compliance.

OUR ROLE

We determined the scope of systems impacted by DFARS and ITAR compliance and conducted a gap analysis of systems to identify deficient controls. We also developed or revised controls to ensure successful compliance, including a focus on implementing cloud-based solutions. We conducted third party assessments of relevant vendors to meet the identified solutions and developed a roadmap for their implementation.

OUR IMPACT

We provided the Client timely feedback on the status of their cybersecurity program, as it related to compliance. We also worked closely with the Client to identify solutions to achieve compliance.
