Our Mission

GovConCyber provides free, authoritative legal and compliance guidance to help government contractors navigate the complex landscape of federal cybersecurity law. We translate dense regulations into clear, actionable plain English — without the billable hour.

Who It's For

Compliance officers, contracts managers, program managers, legal counsel, and IT/security teams at companies of every size — from small businesses winning their first federal contract to established primes in the Defense Industrial Base.

Editorial Standards

This is a reference resource, not an advocate. Our standards:

  • Sourced. Claims are tied to official sources — eCFR, govinfo.gov, NIST, DoD, and agency materials.
  • Current. We track changes to CMMC, DFARS, NIST, and agency rules, and date-stamp our reference pages.
  • Impartial. We don't recommend specific vendors, law firms, or consultants, and we present contested interpretations fairly.
  • Plain. We write at a readable level and define jargon on first use.

GovConCyber provides legal *information*, not legal *advice*. Using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. For guidance specific to your contracts and organization, consult qualified counsel. See our Disclaimer.
