Best Practices for the Implementation of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for the U.S. Federal Government and MilitaryThe CUI Memorandum standardizes practices around the sharing of CUI with a goal of improving the sharing of information within the executive departments of the Federal Government. The Memorandum specifically adopts, defines, and institutes CUI as the single designation for all information formerly referred to as SBU in the Information Sharing Environment (ISE). To meet the Presidential Directive all departments and agencies must take necessary and appropriate actions to safeguard sensitive but unclassified information related to America's homeland security. |
Optimizing Information SharingSharing of information is critical to national and international security. To enable effective and secure information sharing, military organizations have historically relied on classification markings. These markings make it possible to quickly identify information sensitivity and determine proper handling.

This hinders information sharing, and increases the risk of data spillage and inadvertent disclosure.
