## Overview

Connect cybersecurity requirements to practical acquisition decisions. Work through fictional civilian and defense contract files to identify information-handling questions, map data flows and distinguish contractual requirements from unsupported claims.

Review offeror evidence, document oversight observations and coordinate incident escalation within your role. Build an acquisition-file memorandum that states the applicable authority, supporting evidence, unresolved gaps and next actions.
