PSC Raises Concerns with DoD’s Safeguarding Unclassified Information Rule

The Professional Services Council today submitted comments that raise concerns to the Defense Department regarding an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking to govern how contractors protect controlled unclassified DoD information residing on contractor networks.

While PSC believes protecting this information is important to both national security and industry interests, the notice raised several concerns. Among PSC’s concerns are the broad scope of its application, its lack of clarity of a number of key terms and its potentially onerous reporting requirements.
