About the Maryland Defense Cyber Security Assistance Program
The Maryland Defense Cybersecurity Assistance Program (DCAP) provides funding and assistance for Defense Contractors to comply with the DFARS and NIST 800-171 Standards for cybersecurity. The program, which provides funding and resources for companies to comply with the cybersecurity standard, is funded by the Department of Defense’s Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) through the Maryland Department of Commerce and is being coordinated by the MD MEP.
Defense contractors in Maryland generate more than $57 Billion in economic impact and the DCAP program will help these contractors comply with the Federal regulations necessary to continue providing services to the Federal Government.
