Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is any information that law, regulation, or governmentwide policy requires to have safeguarding or disseminating controls.
  • CUI supports federal missions and business functions that affect the economic and national security interests of the United States.
Non-federal organizations:
  • colleges, universities,
  • state, local and tribal governments,
  • federal contractors and subcontractors often process, store, or transmit CUI.
NIST Special Publication 800-171 defines the security requirements for protecting CUI in non-federal information systems and organizations.
  • Requirements are organized into fourteen families.
  • Each family contains the requirements related to the general security topic of the family.
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation supplement (DFARs) Clause 252.204-7012 is required in all contracts except for contracts solely for the acquisition of COTS items.
  • In addition the Contractor shall include the clause in subcontracts for which performance will involve Covered Defense Information (CDI) or Operationally Critical Support (OCS).
  • CDI is used to describe information that requires protection under DFARs Clause 252.204-7012.
  • It is defined as unclassified Controlled Technical Information (CTI) or other information as described in the CUI Registry.
