What is the DIB?
It spans prime contractors, subcontractors, universities, and commercial vendors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Cyber requirements such as CMMC Level 2 flow through this supply chain via DFARS clauses.
Why It Matters
A single weak subcontractor can expose CUI and jeopardize primes' contract eligibility. DIB organizations must prove continuous compliance, not just annual paperwork.
