Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI) Rules for Federal Contractors (2025 Update)

Event description

A government contractor cannot perform a contract requiring access to classified information unless the contractor is free of Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) or implements appropriate safeguards to protect national security. Additionally, contractors may be subject to a FOCI review for certain contracts without security clearance requirements as part of the Contracting Officer’s responsibility assessment.

In this pre-recorded course, Govology Legal Analyst Steven Koprince provides an overview of the FOCI rules for government contractors.
