Contract Clauses, Cyber Risk: Navigating Cybersecurity Requirements in Government Contracting
Moderator:
- Kevin Cosgrove, Willcox & Savage, P.C.
Panelists:
- Greg Tomchick, Valor Cybersecurity
- David Auth, Hampton Roads Communication Technologies
- Brian Long, BAFO Services
Cybersecurity requirements have moved from IT's problem to the contracts desk. CMMC, DFARS 252.204-7012, flow-down obligations, and evolving federal cyber mandates now shape how contracts are negotiated, priced, and performed - and getting them wrong can mean lost awards, breach liability, or contract termination. This panel brings together perspectives from compliance, IT, capture, and legal to unpack what contracting professionals actually need to know: how cybersecurity clauses show up in solicitations and contracts, what obligations they create for primes and subs, where the risk sits when something goes wrong, and how to build cyber readiness into your proposals rather than treating it as an afterthought. Attendees will leave with practical guidance on reading, negotiating, and complying with cybersecurity contract requirements - before they become a problem.
