Government Contracts Cyber Café Series: Subcontracting - Managing Risk Through Contract Negotiation
Join us for the eighth monthly installment of our webinar series that covers the top issues in government contracts and cybersecurity — all in just 45 minutes. The Government Contracts Cyber Café provides coaching, training and analysis to help you work through the technical, legal, accounting and other requirements confronting your organization, with the goal of helping you achieve compliance with the current DFARS and FAR cyber rules, regulations and contract clauses.
Our November webinar discusses "Subcontracting - Managing Risk Through Contract Negotiation." There is inherent risk when accepting any government contract. Concerning cybersecurity, DFARS is a mandatory clause with flow-down effects, but there are other clauses and technical terms that you can (and should) negotiate to ensure the contract risk is acceptable and reasonable.
In this session, Hilary Cairnie, chair of Pepper Hamilton’s Government Contracts Practice Group, and Heather Engel, chief strategy officer for cybersecurity firm Sera-Brynn, discuss clauses that may pose a concern, the ability to offset financial and security risk, and how to get it in writing for long-term protection.
