DoD Issues Long-Awaited Interim Rule on Cyber Requirements and Cloud Services
Client Alert | 1 min read | 09.03.15
As discussed in our recent blog post, on August 26, DoD published an Interim Rule that would expand the already onerous requirements of the DFARS Safeguarding Clause by broadening its application to "covered defense information" and by requiring subcontractors to report cyber incidents directly to DoD. As discussed in a separate blog post, the Interim Rule also seeks to ensure uniformity in the DoD's IT acquisition and use of cloud computing services by adding T&C's, including that, unless otherwise authorized, cloud service providers must maintain all government data within the U.S., outlying areas, or DoD premises.

The Office of Management and Budget issued on May 29, 2026 a Proposed Rule that would significantly revise the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) at 2 C.F.R. Part 200, potentially impacting the full lifecycle of federal grants, cooperative agreements and other forms of financial assistance, from pre-award merit review through post-award administration and termination. These proposed changes are designed to implement the President’s policy priorities, executive actions related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) activities, and Executive Order No. 14332, Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking (EO 14332).
