Why Storage-First Security Falls Short Many organizations still buy security tools as if the problem were static, focusing on storage instead of the broader CUI processing environment where work actually happens. They secure the repository, lock down permissions, turn on…
Where CUI Control Actually Breaks Down Most organizations do not lose control of CUI at the first step. Instead, they lose it in the middle. A document begins in an approved location, then gets downloaded for markup, opened in a…
Why the CUI Boundary Breaks Down in Real-World Workflows For many defense contractors, CUI compliance still breaks down at the exact point where the CUI boundary is weakest, where the real work begins. A file may start inside a secure…
After working through identification, marking, scoping, implementation, assessment, and enhanced requirements, the final step is consolidation. This post brings everything together into a single, actionable CUI compliance checklist aligned with real contract requirements and reporting obligations. This wrap-up serves as…
After implementing and assessing NIST SP 800-171 controls, some organizations encounter an additional layer of security expectations. This is where NIST SP 800-172 requirements come into play. This post covers Step 6 of the CUI Compliance Series and explains what…
FedRAMP Ready status confirms independent assessment of RegDOX’s CUI-focused cloud platform and marks continued progress toward full authorization. NASHUA, NH, UNITED STATES, March 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RegDOX Solutions Inc. today announced it has achieved FedRAMP® Ready status as of February 17, 2026,…
Implementing security controls is only half the job. The next step is validation. A structured NIST SP 800-171A assessment allows you to determine whether your NIST SP 800-171 requirements are implemented correctly, operating as intended, and satisfying CUI security requirements.…
After identifying CUI, defining your CUI system boundary, and applying proper markings, the next step is operational: NIST SP 800-171 implementation. This is where policy becomes control execution, and where many organizations either build a defensible program or create documentation…
CUI marking errors are one of the most common and most preventable sources of compliance risk. Even when organizations correctly identify CUI and scope their systems, inconsistent or incorrect markings can undermine handling controls and create downstream confusion. Step 3…
After identifying Controlled Unclassified Information, the next compliance challenge is scope. Many NIST SP 800-171 failures do not stem from missing controls, but from an undefined or poorly defended CUI system boundary. Without a clear inventory and boundary, organizations often…
