DFARS 252.204.7012

If both the 7000 and 7012 clauses are in an agreement we can go back to the prime contracting officer and ask if the University of Arizona’s portion on the work is fundamental in nature. If we receive confirmation in writing from the prime contracting officer that the university’s work in fundamental it nullifies the CUI clauses.

This clause requires the university to implement security measures as outlined in the NIST 800-171. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, the university’s responsibility under DFARS  252.204-7012 is to report the incident to the DoD within 72 hours. The university should preserve and protect images of all known affected information systems identified in this clause and all relevant monitoring/packet capture data for at least 90 days from the submission of the cyber incident report.
