Additionally, the questionnaire asks for information on any contracts defaulted by the firm within the last 36 months, requiring details such as customer name, contract type, amount, and reason for default.

The "Security of Department Information and Systems DOJ-05 (OCT 2023)" document outlines mandatory security requirements for contractors and subcontractors, including cloud service providers, handling Department of Justice (DOJ) information. It defines key terms such as Authorization to Operate (ATO), Cloud Computing, Covered Contract, DOJ Information, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Security Breach, and Security Incident. Contractors must comply with various federal regulations (FISMA, Privacy Act, E-Government Act) and NIST Special Publications, implement robust security measures like access controls, security awareness training, continuous monitoring, and incident handling capabilities. Strict rules govern the use of portable media, and all DOJ information must be returned or securely disposed of upon contract termination. Cloud computing systems require FedRAMP authorization or specific DOJ approval. Contractors are responsible for reporting security incidents immediately and for flowing down all security requirements to subcontractors. Non-compliance can lead to suspension of access or contract termination at no cost to the DOJ.
