Interview with the ISOO
Have you ever wondered where NIST 800-171 came from or why it was written? In August 2020 I had the opportunity to interview a representative from the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) on my YouTube channel DIB Tech Talk (https://www.youtube.com/c/DIBTechTalk). This interview goes into the origins of NIST 800-171 with someone who was there when it happened. He walks us through some of the thinking behind the CUI program and why it's important.

Marking and Labeling CUI
At minimum, CUI markings for unclassified DoD documents will include the acronym “CUI” in the banner and footer of the document. If portion markings are selected, then all document subjects and titles, as well as individual sections, parts, paragraphs, or similar portions of a CUI document known to contain CUI, will be portion marked with “(CUI).” Use of the unclassified marking “(U)” as a portion marking for unclassified information within CUI documents or materials is required.
