Government Contracts Breakfast Series: Data Security

Crowell & Moring is pleased to announce the launch of our Government Contracts Breakfast Series. All of the sessions will be held in Northern Virginia and focus on issues most important to government contractors. Our first session is described below.

Contractors are subject to a number of distinct but overlapping regulatory regimes applicable to data that the contractor may receive from government customers, prime contractors, or generate in the performance of a government contract. These regimes include the cybersecurity rules and standards under the FAR and DFARS safeguarding clauses, export control requirements under the EAR and ITAR, requirements under the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), and other agency or contract-specific requirements. Attorneys in C&M’s privacy and cybersecurity, international trade, and government contracts practices will go over the basic rules and requirements, discuss the interplay between these different regimes, and provide practical pointers on implementing and updating data security compliance programs that meet the requirements and are aligned with best practices.

We will provide a CLE certificate of attendance and other materials to use in seeking continuing education credits.

Registration begins at 8:00 am.
