A. General Overview of DHA Cybersecurity Requirements

1. New Equipment/Product systems, equipment and software under RMF:

The vendor shall agree to comply with References listed in Appendix A

1.1. Using a vendor provided/maintained test/laboratory environment, the vendor shall duplicate all contracted equipment, to include 3rd party components that fall under the authorization boundary, and included in this contract, to support the RMF/Cybersecurity requirements. The vendor test lab shall be used for all self-assessment activities, Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) compliance testing, and post ATO (Authority to Operate), or RMF Approval (herein referred to as Approval) continuous monitoring for six (6) years or as long as the system is supportable by the vendor, whichever is longer. (Herein referred to as Term of Support) Supportable is defined as, serviceable by a qualified Service Engineer, or Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

Continuous monitoring requires software updates/upgrades, patch management, application of DoD required security configurations (STIGS), vulnerability scanning, and remediation of discovered vulnerabilities. For each version owned by DHA and originally purchased through the vendor’s contract, the vendor will ensure that each component within the authorization boundary is represented in the test group.

1.2. Any commercial cloud offerings, hosted outside DHA or DoD cloud services included within the contract, must be Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) approved prior to implementing DHA RMF activities for the device/system.

FedRAMP certification falls outside the CyberLOG/PMO purview, and is the responsibility of the vendor. Information on FedRAMP certification can be found at www.fedramp.gov.

1.3. Software patches and updates: Many enterprises within the DoD automate patch updates and software updates for operating systems and DoD standard software applications. For applications such as databases and developed applications, updates are scheduled. Vendors shall notify the assigned DHA Cybersecurity Analyst of any updates/changes to the system prior to installation, to include but not limited to software updates, Operating System, or Application upgrades, patches, addition/removal of components. If the analyst is unknown, the vendor shall submit all requests to dha.detrick.med-log.mbx.cyberlog@mail.mil.

Software updates will be analyzed by the Government to determine if reauthorization is required by Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 8510.01 Risk Framework (RMF) for DoD Information Technology (IT). Patches normally address bug fixes and cybersecurity issues. Applying patches usually does not trigger reauthorization. Per the DoDI 8500.01 Cybersecurity, Enclosure 3, paragraph 9.b. (11), “All CYBERSECURITY products and IA-enabled products that require use of the product’s CYBERSECURITY capabilities will comply with the evaluation and validation requirements of Committee on National Security Systems Policy 11, National Policy Governing the Acquisition of Information Assurance (IA) and IA-Enabled Information Technology Products, June 2013, as amended.”

1.4. Vendors shall comply with the National Information Assurance Partnership mailto:dha.detrick.med-log.mbx.cyberlog@mail.mil

5 | P a g e

(NIAP) Common Criteria Cybersecurity Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) evaluation (https://www.niap-ccevs.org) which is published on the NIAP-CCEVS Products Compliance List. The NIAP-certified products have been assessed from a security perspective, helping to reduce the existence of potential vulnerabilities. Vendors are required to continually maintain their products from a Cybersecurity perspective, testing and releasing patches, mitigating vulnerabilities and distributing fixes to licensed users.

1.5. Reauthorization in accordance with DoD RMF requirements: Per DoDI 8510.01, Enclosure 6, para 2.f.(6).(a), “In accordance with Appendix III of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, systems must be reassessed and reauthorized every 3 years or as a result of a system update that negatively affects the security posture (whichever is less).” Program Offices or appropriate logistics organizations plan for this activity. The results of an annual cybersecurity review or a negative change to the system or environment at any time (i.e., a change increasing the residual risk) may result in a need for reauthorization prior to the regular three-year reauthorization.

1.6. The vendor shall maintain, from a Cybersecurity perspective, all equipment/product versions provided pursuant to this contract, including 3rd party components, to include the supported operating systems, and all applications (ex. SQL, IIS, Oracle, etc.) by issuing patches/updates to mitigate vulnerabilities [e.g., Information Assurance Vulnerability Alerts (IAVA) or Information Assurance Vulnerability Bulletins (IAVB) and network security configurations [e.g., Defense Information System Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs)]. The vendor must adhere to DHA guidance for remediation or mitigation of vulnerabilities associated with the equipment/product. Vendors shall be responsible for providing Cybersecurity maintenance support, and maintaining an Approval during the Term of Support defined in section 1.1. The vendor shall include, in its pricing to the Government the cost of Cybersecurity maintenance and patching their equipment throughout its lifecycle.

2. Pricing for Cybersecurity:

If there are any additional costs associated with any element of the Cybersecurity lifecycle, the vendor shall include those costs as follows:

2.1. All costs to achieve the initial Approval and maintain it during the equipment’s

Term of Support defined in section 1.1 shall be included in the initial quote/offer price.

2.2. The cost of updating, and upgrading the vendor’s equipment to maintain the

Approval during the Term of Support defined in section 1.1 shall be covered in the vendor’s post warranty maintenance offering. At a minimum, vendors must offer Cybersecurity only maintenance which shall cover only actions related to maintaining a positive Cybersecurity posture and providing continuous monitoring of the system. The Government would need to purchase the Cybersecurity maintenance on an annual basis, either individually or as part of their normal maintenance packages, in order to maintain the Cybersecurity coverage on a system. The vendor shall be required to provide Cybersecurity https://www.niap-ccevs.org/

6 | P a g e only maintenance option pricing or Cybersecurity coverage as part of higher level maintenance coverage, as required by the Request for Offer (RFO) or Request for Proposal (RFP), in their quote/offer, broken out by each year. This option pricing shall at a minimum be used in the evaluation/selection of vendors. The Government may choose to exercise the Cybersecurity only maintenance pricing or use the vendor’s normal maintenance offering under their contract, if it includes Cybersecurity maintenance coverage. Vendors shall be required to have Cybersecurity only maintenance coverage on their multiple award basic contract or offer it on any single award contract in order to receive an order/contract, unless they agree to provide the Cybersecurity patching, updates, upgrades, and monitoring at no charge to the Government during the Term of Support defined in section 1.1. Furthermore, the vendor agrees they will offer Cybersecurity only maintenance coverage on their contract during the Term of Support.

3. Maintenance and upgrades:

Vendors shall agree to the DHA Cybersecurity requirements as outlined in this document for all systems and medical devices, unless an exception has been granted for a system by the Government prior to award/order issuance.
