What is DFARS and why is it important for defense contractors?
DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) is a set of rules and regulations that apply to companies working with the Department of Defense (DoD). Compliance with DFARS is crucial for defense contractors, as it helps protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and demonstrates their commitment to maintaining high-security standards.
