DFARS Readiness & Compliance Assessment
providing the highest caliber services
The Defense Acquisition Regulations System oversees DoD acquisition systems by implementing the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). DFARS establishes cybersecurity standards for nongovernmental organizations doing business with the DoD. Our DFARS Assessment Services assist in aligning your company’s compliance with established regulations.
What We Offer
decades of hands-on experience

- NIST CSF Assessments for strategy development or annual baselines
- Third-Party Risk Assessments
- DFARS Assessments including Program Management for POAM remediation and Solution Development
- CMMC Readiness Assessments
- Application / Infrastructure Risk Assessments
DFARS Compliance Assessments
Submission to the Supplier Performance Risk System and third-party risk assessments provide an overview of business security protocols for infrastructure, critical manufacturing, defense industrial base, and other contractors and subcontractors doing business with the DoD. They are necessary for infrastructure operators, critical manufacturing companies, and healthcare partners that handle sensitive information.
LeveL5Cyber’s DFARS assessment services assist in identifying potential gaps in compliance with DFARS and NIST 800-171. Businesses may then be able to address these gaps and implement appropriate cybersecurity controls to bring OT/ICS into compliance.
We complete each DFARS Readiness Assessment following the NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Methodology as required by DFARS procedures. It includes the following for each system security plan supporting a DoD contract:
- CAGE codes for the information system addressed
- Description of security plan architecture as needed
- Summary level score
- Expected date for implementing requirements for NIST SP 800-171 compliance
Once enacted, our team can monitor protocols for efficiency and effectiveness while helping you address potential discrepancies that may arise.

LeveL5Cyber’s Risk Assessments enable organizations to inform and prioritize decisions regarding cybersecurity. The services take into consideration today’s evolving threat landscape to drive cybersecurity priorities with an outcome-driven approach using industry standard processes.
While timing can vary, most Assessments will take approximately five to six weeks to complete. Program Development services may take longer based on the scope.
The ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards define requirements and processes for implementing and maintaining electronically secure industrial automation and control systems (IACS). These standards set best practices for security and provide a way to assess the level of security performance.
A NIST Special Publication provides guidance on how to secure operational technology (OT) while addressing their unique performance, reliability, and safety requirements. OT encompasses a broad range of programmable systems and devices that interact with the physical environment (or manage devices that interact with the physical environment). These systems and devices detect or cause a direct change through the monitoring and/or control of devices, processes, and events. Examples include industrial control systems, building automation systems, transportation systems, physical access control systems, physical environment monitoring systems, and physical environment measurement systems.
