Join us for two days of key updates, best practices, and actionable mitigation strategies for companies under FOCI.

C5’s 8th National Forum on FOCI, taking place September 29–30 in Washington, D.C., helps FOCI mitigated companies understand and promptly respond to increasing compliance risks by gathering the most trusted in-house corporate security and outside counsel leaders to benchmark best-practices in an evolving regulatory environment. With so much on the line and a greater emphasis on the “I” in FOCI, don’t miss key takeaways and best practices for handling critically important, high stakes FOCI mitigation challenges.

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) FOCI evaluation scrutiny has unprecedently increased. Clearances that were only required for contractors and subcontractors performing classified work has expanded to all contractors that hold certain contracts more than $5 million. With this expanded FOCI review, DCSA will create new templates tailored to meet these updated requirements. What can government contractors expect around DCSA’s revised 847 expectations? What updated process and compliance implementation factors should companies be considering amid DCSA’s new SF-328 reporting requirements applicable to non-classified contracts? Don’t miss key takeaways and best practices for handling critically important, high stakes challenges, including:
