DO YOU NEED TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS (FAR) RULES?



This mandate stems from Executive Order 14028, titled "Improving the Nation's
Cybersecurity," which was issued on May 12, 2021. The executive order is a
directive aimed at bolstering the cybersecurity defenses across all agencies,
including those working with service providers such as GSA contractors. One of
the key aspects of this order is the requirement for these service providers to
actively participate in enhancing cybersecurity by sharing vital information
related to cyber incidents and potential threats that could jeopardize
government networks. This collaborative approach is essential for creating a
more resilient and secure digital infrastructure for government operations.

In addition to the directives from the executive order, the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) Council has proposed new cybersecurity rules specifically
targeting federal contractors. These proposed rules are especially relevant for
contractors involved in selling or operating software on behalf of the federal
government. The rules emphasize the importance of cybersecurity in the supply
chain and mandate contractors to report any cyber incidents promptly. They also
require contractors to share threat information, which is crucial for the
government to respond to and mitigate potential cyber threats effectively. This
move is part of a broader effort to ensure that all federal contractors meet
high cybersecurity standards, thereby protecting the integrity and security of
federal information systems and data.
