Think about the last piece of controlled unclassified information (CUI) you touched. Where is it now? On your desk? In a folder on your laptop? Stored on a server? At the bottom of your backpack?
It’s up to you to know. Each of us shares responsibility for the “controlled” part of CUI. And you can make that a part of your Argonne office routine by taking a few simple precautions.
- Shred sensitive documents. Don’t throw them in the trash or recycle bin.
- Don’t discuss CUI in public.
- Mark documents containing CUI appropriately.
- Encrypt electronic CUI before storing or transmitting.
- Lock sensitive documents in your office or cabinet.
As part of OPSEC Week, OPSEC team members will answer your questions and share their expertise on properly handling CUI on Thursday, July 25, from 11 a.m. to noon, in the Building 402 Auditorium.
If you have additional questions, you can email opsec@anl.gov, or read the detailed requirements for storage, transmission, marking, and destruction of CUI in LMS-PROC-22, Protection of Controlled Unclassified Information.
