Quiz: Do you Handle controlled unclassified information?
Most defense contractors don’t realize how often they come across CUI in everyday work — and how much of it may already be in your company’s systems. In two minutes, learn if your company may already handle CUI - and what to do next.
cui is everywhere
CUI can appear in HR records, invoices, even visitor logs — and if you don't know what to look for, you're likely missing it
Auditors look for blind spots
It’s not enough to have policies on paper. You need to prove you know where CUI lives in your systems. Overlooking a single source file or shared folder can trigger findings and put your company at risk.
cui is Contagious
If you reference or include CUI in an email, slide deck, or project management tool, the new document must be marked and handled accordingly.
CUI requirements flow down from primes
Even if your DoD contract doesn’t mention CUI by name, prime contractors pass compliance obligations to their subcontractors.
Mishandling CUI Can Lead to Lost Contracts
