FAR 52.204 and CMMC Level 1: Protecting Federal Contract Information

How FAR 52.204 evolved from a basic safeguarding clause into the foundation of CMMC Level 1, and what defense contractors must do to self-assess and affirm compliance.

Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.204 has quietly evolved over two decades from a basic recordkeeping requirement into the legal foundation for how the Department of Defense protects Federal Contract Information across the entire defense supply chain. This course traces that evolution from the original clause through the 2016 addition of the 15 basic safeguarding requirements, the 2020 CMMC 1.0 framework, the 2021 CMMC 2.0 restructuring, and the current annual self-assessment and SPRS affirmation requirement that every contractor handling FCI must complete.
