3. Provision-specific questions
- Training-Data Rights. Identify the legal basis for training-data sourcing for the offered system (including copyright, consent, and any text-and-data-mining exemptions relied upon) and confirm consistency with DFARS Subpart 252.204 (Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting) (252.204-7012 — training-data sets stored on covered contractor information systems require NIST SP 800-171 implementation when designated CDI; data-spill / exfiltration events trigger 72-hour cyber-incident reporting under 252.204-7012(c)).

- National Security Carveouts in AI Regulation. Identify whether any component of the offered system or its use case falls within the national-security carveouts of DFARS Subpart 252.204 (Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting) (252.204-7012 + CMMC clauses (-7019/-7020/-7021) are the operative national-security-overlay framework for defence-acquisition information security; the subpart IS the carveout regime) and the resulting compliance posture.
