Understanding the roles and responsibilities of CUI markings.
Handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requires careful attention, and marking it correctly is a critical part of the process. But who is responsible for this task?
In most cases, the organization or individual that creates or manages the CUI is responsible for ensuring it is properly marked. These markings indicate how the information should be handled and protected.
For federal contractors, this responsibility often extends to subcontractors or third parties who interact with the CUI. It’s essential that everyone involved understands their role in maintaining compliance.
We can help with CUI markings!
Federal guidelines, such as NIST SP 800-171, provide a framework for how CUI should be marked and handled. Following these standards helps protect sensitive information and ensures accountability.
Organizations can reduce risks by offering proper training and establishing clear policies for managing CUI. These steps not only safeguard data but also help avoid compliance issues.
By knowing who is responsible and following best practices, your team can maintain security and compliance with confidence.
