C.2.29.5. Protection of CUI Information.

C.2.29.5.1. Access. CUI may be released only to an individual who has a valid need for such access in connection with the accomplishment of a lawful and authorized Government purpose. Information in any media format may only be disseminated on a need-to-know basis. The need-to-know restricts the use or dissemination of CUI data to those individuals or organizations with direct affiliation with the given program or project. Further dissemination of such information will be at the discretion of the Government Security Manager. Personnel no longer requiring access to CUI must delete or surrender any in their possession and terminate future access to it.

C.2.29.5.2. Storing/Handling. During working hours, take reasonable steps to minimize risk of access to CUI by unauthorized personnel. After working hours, when not in physical possession of the owner, all CUI (whether hardcopy or media that contains CUI) must be afforded a reasonable degree of physical protection to prevent theft of program information (e.g., store CUI information in locked desks or file cabinets, locked rooms, cable lock laptops, storing in a trunk, storing out of site or similar means). Do not display CUI in public places (e.g., airports, airplanes, restaurants). Computers used to process CUI do not need to be accredited for classified use, but shall be in accordance with DFARS 252.204-7012 Safeguarding of Unclassified Controlled Technical Information. Do not process CUI on public computers (e.g., those available for use by the general public in kiosks, hotel business centers), public wireless networks or computers that do not have access control. Personally owned computers and personally owned devices are not authorized to process CUI. Mobile devices used to store CUI electronically (e.g., company-issued laptops, personal electronic devices [PED]) must be physically protected and use NIST/NIAP-approved cryptographic products/algorithms. These are available at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca or http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/. All media shall be marked in accordance with the Security Classification Guide and protected as below:

C.2.29.5.2.1. Portable electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, laptop computers, tablets) and removable media (e.g., external hard drives, flash drives, USB drives; not including optical media) must be physically and electronically protected as described in this instruction.

C.2.29.5.2.2. Optical media (e.g., DVDs, CDs) and non-portable computers (e.g., desktop or tower computers) are required to be physically protected; however, they are not required to be electronically protected as described in this instruction.

C.2.29.5.3. Dissemination. CUI printed documents and material may be transmitted through mail channels or hand-carried without formal courier orders. FOUO information may be disseminated to DoD personnel and DoD contractors to conduct official business for the program. If dissemination is required outside of DoD personnel or DoD contractors, contact the Government Security Manager for approval.

Technical data will follow the release instructions identified in the Distribution Statement. Use secure communications whenever possible; however, land-line telephones are more secure than cellular telephones and should be used whenever available for discussions involving CUI. Transmit voice and facsimile transmissions only when you have a reasonable assurance that only authorized recipients will have access to the transmission. Transmittal documents shall call attention to the presence of U//FOUO attachments. Removal of the U//FOUO marking can only be accomplished by the originator or other competent authority. Digital transmission shall comply with the below:

C.2.29.5.3.1. Transporting/Sending U//FOUO Information Via Mail. Records containing U//FOUO information shall be transported in a manner that precludes disclosure of the contents. When not commingled with classified information, U//FOUO information may be sent via first class mail or parcel post. Bulky shipments, such as distributions of U//FOUO Directives or testing materials, that otherwise qualify under postal regulations may be sent by fourth-class mail. When material marked U//FOUO is removed from storage, attach DA Label 87 (For Official Use Only Cover Sheet).

C.3.5.5.3.2. Electronic Transmission and Dissemination. All transmission and/or dissemination of CUI (i.e., email and file transfers) must use NIST/NIAP-approved cryptographic products/algorithms, e.g., DoD-approved Public Key Infrastructure Certification or AMRDEC Safe Exchange at https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/safe. These are available at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca or http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/.

This encryption requirement includes communications that contain passcodes to teleconferences or web conferences where there is a reasonable expectation that CUI may be discussed. When encryption is not http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/ available, a government collaborative suite (aka Integrated Digital Environment [IDE]) must be used to transmit CUI.

C.2.29.5.3.3. Contractor-hosted collaborative suites may be used for digital transmission and/or dissemination of CUI by personnel not located on a government backbone (e.g., NIPRNET), provided the following conditions apply:

C.2.29.5.3.3.1. Use only NIST/NIAP-approved cryptographic vendors and algorithms. The latest validation lists may be obtained at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca or http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/.

C.2.29.5.3.3.2 Use an internally hosted service that does not use a third-party collaborative suite service provider.

C.2.29.5.3.4. Do not post CUI to web pages that are publicly available or have access limited only by domain/IP restrictions. As permitted by other contract provisions, CUI may be posted to web pages that control access through the use of a DoD approved Public Key Infrastructure Certification and that provide protection via use of secure sockets, or other equivalent technologies. These are available at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca.

C.2.29.5.3.5. As new technologies become available in the electronics arena, care should be given to providing a reasonable degree of protection from known vulnerabilities.

C.2.29.5.3.6. The Internet is Public Access. CUI must be reviewed and officially approved by the PEO CS&CSS Public Affairs Officer for public release before placing on the Internet. This is not applicable when the Internet is used for e-mail transmissions and encryption is used as noted above.

C.2.29.5.4. Disposal. Destroy CUI documents by any means approved for the destruction of classified information, i.e. cross-cut shredding or other means that would make it difficult to recognize or reconstruct the information. Clear, purge, or destroy CUI on removable media IAW BBP 03-PE-O-0003 Army Information Assurance Sanitization of Media to AR 25-2. This is available at https://informationassurance.us.army.mil.

C.2.29.5.5. Report of Loss of CUI. Report any loss of CUI or loss of CUI from a contractor information system that is known to the contractor within the period of performance of work on this contract and for any period of time after contract performance to the Government Security Manager. Initial reports shall be made as expeditiously as possible in all cases within 72 hours of discovery. If additional information is required after submission and review of the initial report, guidance will be provided at that time. Mark any reports For Official Use Only, exemptions 2 and 5 apply. Initial report content shall include the following information as available.

C.2.29.5.5.1. Applicable dates, including dates of compromise and dates of discovery.

C.2.29.5.5.2. Threat methodology, including all known resources used (e.g. IP addresses, domain names, software tools).

C.2.29.5.5.3. Account of what actions the threat(s) may have taken on victim system/network.

C.2.29.5.5.4. What information may have been compromised, exfiltrated, or lost, and its potential impact on government programs.

Notify the Government Security Manager of any incidents as well. Refer to Report of Loss of CUI for what needs to be reported, when, and how.

C.2.29.6. OPSEC Guidelines.

C.2.29.6.1. If the contractor generates unclassified Operations Security (OPSEC) sensitive information, this information shall be protected at the same level as FOUO information. OPSEC sensitive information may be disseminated within the contractor's internal computer network if it is protected with a firewall and individual access is controlled by using IDs and passwords. (Under no circumstances can classified information be transmitted over an unclassified network).

C.2.29.6.2. The contactor may disseminate FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO) information to its employees who have a need to know for the information in connection with the purchase order.

C.2.29.6.3. All FOUO material shall be destroyed by tearing or shredding to make unreadable. Electronic media will be purged with approved software or destroyed through a physical process.

C.2.29.6.4. Because of antiterrorism/force protection, operations security, and counterintelligence concerns the contractor shall not release any diagrams, maps, floor plans, schematics, or digital pictures of the installation to outside organizations or companies without the approval of the COR and G2, TACOM.
