Lockheed Martin wants their suppliers to know two things. First, suppliers should be fully and confidently compliant with existing DFARS cybersecurity requirements. Second, suppliers should be fully transitioned to the “Cybersecurity Compliance and Risk Assessment” tool. All of this before CMMC ever shows up in contracts. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone because this is the 6th CMMC memo from Lockheed in the last 18 months. This week we take a look at each one to see where things are headed (hint: they all say the same thing).

Continuing our back-to-basics series of the “DFARS Cyber Series” of provisions and clauses brings us to clause 252.204-7020. This clause applies to defense contractors who are required to comply with DFARS clause 252.204-7012. Through DFARS 7020 the DoD reserves the right to conduct a higher-level assessment of a contractor's cybersecurity compliance. Additionally, defense contractors must give DoD assessors full access to their facilities, systems, and personnel.
