Title: ●General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); GSAR Case 2016-G511, Information and Information Systems Security 
Abstract:

GSA is proposing to update the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to update existing GSA cybersecurity requirements that did not previously go through the rulemaking process and integrate these updated requirements within the GSAR. Integrating these requirements into the GSAR will allow GSA to benefit from public comments received during the rulemaking process. The GSA cybersecurity requirements mandate contractors protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of unclassified GSA information and information systems from cyber security vulnerabilities. and threats in accordance with the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 and associated federal cybersecurity requirements. This rule will require contracting officers to incorporate applicable GSA cybersecurity requirements within the statement of work to ensure compliance with federal cybersecurity requirements and implement best practices for preventing cyber incidents. These GSA requirements mandate applicable controls and standards (e.g. U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, U.S. National Archive and Records Administration Controlled Unclassified Information standards).

Cybersecurity requirements for internal contractor systems, external contractor systems, cloud systems, and mobile systems will be covered by this rule. It will also update existing GSAR provision 552.239-70, Information Technology Security Plan and Security Authorization and GSAR clause 552.239-71, Security Requirements for Unclassified Information Technology Resources to only require the provision and clause when the contract will involve information or information systems connected to a GSA network.
