Established by Executive Order 13556, the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) program defines a uniform policy for the treatment of unclassified information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls. The CUI Executive Order specifically adopts, defines, and institutes CUI as the single designation for all information formerly designated by Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU), For Official Use Only (FOUO), and other similar designations. This framework standardizes practices around the sharing of controlled unclassified information, with the goal of improving the sharing of information within the executive departments of the Federal Government.
This guide looks at important elements of the CUI Framework, and describes how Fortra Data Classification can provide the ideal solution for meeting CUI marking and safeguarding requirements.
