DFARS Definition: DFARS is the DoD acquisition supplement whose 252.204-7012 clause mandates NIST 800-171 controls and 72-hour cyber incident reporting.
The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement DFARS is a set of regulations that govern Department of Defense procurement and impose cybersecurity obligations on contractors. The widely cited clause DFARS 252.204-7012 requires defense contractors to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information by implementing the security controls in NIST SP 800-171 and to report cyber incidents within 72 hours. It is a key precursor to the CMMC program.
