2024/03/01

Starting this week, the Defense Department is implementing a major revamp of the regime it uses to test the cyber readiness posture of its commands, bases and agencies, aiming to move from a compliance-focused checklist mentality to one that tries to help commanders understand how their cyber risk actually affects their missions. The new process seeks to put a friendlier — and hopefully more helpful — face on the Command Cyber Readiness Inspections (CCRIs) DoD has used for more than a decade. In

2024/02/29

Among the more arcane rules of federal contract protests, a company can't make a money appeal on a protest decision unless that appeal contains a specific dollar amount. It is called the "sum certain rule." But is it really a hard and fast rule? And if not, what does that mean for the government and for contractors?
