Cybersecurity Seminar  
Helping Northwest Defense Contractors Comply with Federal Acquisition Requirements 

Many direct and in-direct government contractors will need to comply with new cybersecurity requirements. Chief among these are the FAR 52.204-21 and DFARS 252.204-7012 that require implementation of NIST SP 800-171 no later than December 31, 2017.  Need help?

 This event will review these requirements and offer practical, actionable steps you can take to comply.  We encourage both technical and management staff to attend as many of these requirements are policy focused, as well as addressing IT system configuration.
