Frequently Asked Questions

CUI is unclassified information that still requires safeguarding or dissemination controls according to applicable federal laws, regulations, or government-wide policies.

CUI is not classified (e.g., Confidential, Secret, Top Secret), but it still must be protected under specific rules and cannot be freely disclosed, whereas classified information involves stricter national security controls.
CUI can include personnel data, proprietary technical information, export-controlled data, legal or law enforcement info, personal identifiable information, and other sensitive federal information that requires protection.
