Contractors in the defense industrial base (DIB) understand the risk but haven’t implemented the necessary security controls, according to a study conducted by Merrill Research and commissioned by CyberSheath , the largest CMMC managed service vendor.

Key Points:

Contractors in the defense industrial base (DIB) understand the risk but haven’t implemented the necessary security controls, according to a study conducted by Merrill Research and commissioned by CyberSheath , the largest CMMC managed service vendor.
The second edition of the comprehensive, independent study of the DIB’s cybersecurity posture shows the average Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score is a woeful -15, far short of the 110 score required by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS).
DFARS was signed into law in 2017 and is in over 1 million contracts today, but adherence to compliance requirements remains low.
“This year’s survey shows we haven’t made much progress in protecting military secrets, and until the DIB is compelled to do so, our security posture will remain stagnant.”
The study shows contractors pick and choose which areas they’ll take action on.
