Continuing our back-to-basics series of the &ldquo;DFARS Cyber Series&rdquo; of provisions and clauses brings us to clause 252.204-7020. This clause applies to defense contractors who are required to comply with DFARS clause 252.204-7012. Through DFARS 7020 the DoD reserves the right to conduct a higher-level assessment of a contractor's cybersecurity compliance. Additionally, defense contractors must give DoD assessors full access to their facilities, systems, and personnel.
