What is the CUI Framework?
The President’s Memorandum establishes policies and procedures governing the designation, marking, safeguarding, and dissemination of CUI terrorism-related information that originates in departments and agencies, regardless of the medium used for the display, storage, or transmittal of such information. The CUI Framework is a critical part of a larger effort to create an Information Sharing Environment (ISE) that will facilitate the sharing of terrorism-related information. Because the CUI Framework provides for standardized handling of information, it supports the individual missions of departments and agencies and enhances the ability to share vital terrorism-related information among Federal, State, local, tribal, private sector, and foreign partners. Implementing the CUI Framework will further the ISE and help departments and agencies better manage their information.
