CUI Categories

Types of information for which a LRGWP requires or permits agencies to exercise safeguarding or dissemination controls, and which the CUI EA has approved and listed in the CUI Registry. The controls for any CUI Basic categories are the same, but the controls for CUI Specified Categories can differ from CUI Basic ones and from each other. A CUI category may be CUI Specified, and vice versa. If dealing with CUI that falls into a CUI Specified category, review the controls for that category on the CUI Registry. Also consult the agency's CUI policy for specific direction from the SAO for CUI.
