FAR 52.204-21 Compliance Services

Securing Your Organization with Confidence

In today’s digital age, protecting sensitive information is not just critical—it’s a legal requirement for organizations working with the federal government. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.204-21 outlines the minimum-security controls contractors must implement to safeguard federal contract information (FCI). At Managed Technology, we specialize in helping businesses meet these requirements, ensuring compliance and securing your place as a trusted federal partner.

What Is FAR 52.204-21?

FAR 52.204-21, also known as the "Basic Safeguarding of Covered Contractor Information Systems," establishes a set of mandatory cybersecurity safeguards for federal contractors. It applies to systems that process, store, or transmit federal contract information (FCI) and focuses on preventing unauthorized access, misuse, or breaches of sensitive government data.

Key Safeguarding Requirements:

• Access Control: Limit system access to authorized users only
• Authentication: Implement strong password and multi-factor authentication policies
• Audit Logs: Monitor and log user activities for potential unauthorized actions
• Data Protection: Encrypt sensitive information in transit and at rest
• Incident Response: Establish protocols to respond to and recover from cybersecurity events
• Physical Security: Protect IT systems and infrastructure from physical access by unauthorized individuals
