With the end of the year rapidly approaching, Dept. of Defense contractors and their sub-tier suppliers* have less than 90 days to comply with new Defense Federal Regulations (DFARS Subparts 204.73, 239.76). Failure to do so can jeopardize their ability to receive or keep DoD contracts, and they may be subject to financial penalties for non-compliance after Dec. 31, 2017.
To help our area defense contractors and those in their supply chain comply with the new cyber-security guidelines, the Quad Cities Manufacturing Innovation Hub will host a two-day DFARS overview workshop to help companies better understand the new DFARS guidelines, important compliance deadlines, consequences for not complying, and ways to fast-track their efforts.
The workshop will be led by Imprimis Inc., a cyber-security consulting company that helps contractors quickly and efficiently assess their cyber-security processes, identify best practices to reduce their risks, and get them started on their way to cyber-security compliance.
The two-day seminar will include a detailed demonstration of software that allows selection of the appropriate subset of standards, documents compliance for both internal and external auditing, and decreases the amount of time and resources required to ensure compliance. This tool complies with DFARS Subparts 204.73, 239.76 and contains all 110 requirements and the 125 referenced controls from NIST 800-53. The software is ideal for small businesses or subcontractors who only have to comply with the DFARS NIST 800-171.
Early registrants could qualify for a scholarship to aid compliance efforts ($2,300 value)
The first ten companies who register for the overview workshop AND meet qualifying criteria* will receive free one-on-one training, software assistance, and consulting help toward DFARS compliance from Imprimis Inc.
Valued at $2,300, the additional assistance consists of an online, one-on-one session with an individual consultant trained in compliance requirements. During the two-day online session, Imprimis consultants will walk the software user through the assessment of all 110 requirements needed for DFARS compliance. Based on the assessment results, Imprimis will provide recommended actions for companies to take when creating their plans to become DFARS compliant.
Qualifying criteria*:
