CUI Program

CUI Programs Under NISPOM
The NISPOM states that unless contractual requirements call for CUI protection, it is out of scope for security reveiws. The DD Form 254 is a contractual requirement and many are describing contractor CUI program actions. In fact, CUI programs are identified in detail in the narrative sections of DD Forms 254.
If you are a defence contractor, education facility or lab on a government contract we can help you develop the CUI program that works for you and demonstrates compliance.
We are prepared to help you meet these requirements. Contact us to find out more of how we can assist you in meeting your NISPOM based CUI requirements. We are prepared to provide:
- CUI training for cleared employees
- CUI security for industrial security professionals
- CUI identification and marking
- CUI safeguards
- Documenting of CUI activities
- Demonstrating CUI compliance

Why Thrive Analysis Group
Whether a NISPOM or CMMC requirement, we can help you meet compliance. Organizations that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must meet clear expectations under NIST SP 800-171, NISPOM and federal agency guidance. While not every organization needs or desires a technical implementation engagement, all organizations must demonstrate:
-
Clear governance
-
Repeatable processes
-
Documented policies and procedures
-
Staff awareness and accountability
-
Defined boundaries and data handling expectations
-
Evidence of oversight and continuous program management
Thriveanalysis’ CUI Protection Program delivers all essential non-technical components required to run a compliant, efficient, and defensible CUI governance program.
This program provides:
-
CUI identification, scoping, and boundary definition
-
Comprehensive policies and handling standards
