Ooooppppsss, how many critcal UK defense contractors are under foreign ownership? What happens if the US want to restrict defense sales to the UK?Here’s another conundrum for the UK and EU DIB, who supply the US DIB. UK and EU DIB contractors are all likely covered by DFARS 252.204-7012 requiring them to demonstrate protection of CUI. Most prime contracts will include the clause, that flows down the supply chain.Failure to comply could be a breach under the False Claims Act. As I discussed this week with Rachel V. Rose, JD, MBA and Ryan Buckner for the US Federal Bar Association. A likely legitimate breach of contract claim, if they cannot demonstrate compliance to NIST SP 800-171, that they have attested to, by agreeing the contract.@Thaddeus Dziekanowski Brian D.
