Why Engineering Firms are a Target
San Diego engineering firms often work for the Navy, the Department of Defense, utilities and public agencies. That work comes with valuable designs, sensitive infrastructure details and, increasingly, strict federal security rules. Losing a contract because you can't prove compliance is now a real risk. This checklist covers the essentials.
- Defense and infrastructure data. Foreign and criminal hackers target firms that design for military bases, utilities, water and transport.
- Federal contract rules. Contracts with DFARS clause 252.204-7012 require protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) using NIST SP 800-171, and CMMC certification is being phased into new contracts.
- Valuable designs. Calculations, drawings and models are your intellectual property and your clients'.
- Payment scams and ransomware hit engineering firms like any other business.
