What Is CUI? Controlled Unclassified Information Explained

In this video, Tony Bai from RISCPoint breaks down what CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) actually is, why it matters, and how it impacts defense contractors, federal agencies, and organizations working with the Department of Defense (DoD).

Learn the differences between CUI, FOUO, PII, PHI, and more. We explain how CUI must be handled, protected, and flowed down to subcontractors, all while staying compliant with laws and regulations like the Privacy Act, HIPAA, and DFARS.

Whether you're prepping for CMMC certification, managing contracts in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), or just trying to make sense of acronyms like DIBCAC, C3PAO, DCMA, this video is your go-to guide for understanding CUI at a foundational level.
