Description
The United States Federal Government's Controlled Unclassified Information ("CUI") program completely transforms the way unclassified information is shared and handled by and with the government. The CUI program impacts not only federal employees, but also government contractors and others who interact with the federal government.
The CUI program is a transformational change for the government which involves fundamental rethinking of the way the government identifies and safeguards unclassified, but still sensitive, information. These same identification and handling requirements also extend to anyone to whom the government gives CUI, and even to those whom the government hires to create CUI.
As a federal employee or government contractor, you must understand at least the basics of the CUI program. Even if you think that you do not currently handle CUI.
