CUI Informed

Course Description

The United States Government’s Controlled Unclassified Information (“CUI“) program represents a fundamental shift in the way the government’s unclassified but still sensitive information is identified and safeguarded.  A goal of the CUI program is to ensure that everyone, including government contractors and state and local governments, that handles CUI follows the same rules.
