Requirement: The DSN PMO and/or site command/management will ensure that "compliance with all applicable STIGs" requirements and validation measures are added to specifications and contracts for commercially leased or procured telecommunications services or systems.STIG compliance is DoD policy and must be accomplished to the greatest extent possible so that any information system may be Certified and Accredited, operated, and connected to other systems if applicable. Placing this requirement in procurement contracts puts the vendor on notice that their product or solution must support these DoD policy requirements.
