DoD compliance requirements

"DoD compliance requirements" is a vendor umbrella label rather than a single standard. On the Coalfire page it appears simply as "DoD" in a list of industry-specific requirements.

In practice it gathers the cybersecurity and information-handling rules a company meets when it sells to the US Department of Defense: the DFARS 252.204-70xx clauses and NIST SP 800-171 for controlled unclassified information, the CMMC program that certifies those requirements, the FAR 52.204-21 basic safeguarding rule for federal contract information, the DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide and its impact levels (IL2, IL4, IL5, IL6) for cloud services, the Risk Management Framework under DoDI 8510.01 for systems the Department itself authorizes, the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (32 CFR Part 117) for classified work, and export controls under ITAR and the EAR.

Which pieces apply depends on the contract. A small parts supplier may only face FAR 52.204-21 and a CMMC Level 1 self-assessment; a software company hosting DoD data needs a DISA provisional authorization at the right impact level; a cleared contractor needs a facility clearance and an insider threat program under the NISPOM.

The common documentary core is a system security plan, an inventory of where DoD information lives, incident reporting procedures, subcontractor flow-down records, and, where certification applies, the assessment reports and affirmations.

This directory profiles the components individually (see DFARS, CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, ITAR); this entry exists so that the umbrella label resolves to those pages.
